Evening Star
Days are long and nights are cold, the rivers runI'm swept away down distant paths, the road goes onFrom the halls of the free to the tower of tormentWhere treasures lie in mountains high
The silent fields of stars so far and wideThe oceans of infinity, the great divideIn the heavens on high is a light so lonelyThe evening star that shines so far
When home is far behind and ever the long roads windI keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kindFor so long as I've gone and so far I've wanderedThe evening star has shone thus far

When home is far behind and ever the long roads windI keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kindFor so long as I've gone and so far I've wanderedThe evening star has shone thus far
When home is far behind and ever the long roads windI keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kindFor so long as I've gone and so far I've wanderedThe evening star to me you are
