The Blackwood

I hope I know which way to go

When it's time for me to head home

I hope I do not miss the turning

And I know which way to go

I hope I know when I should leave

From these shores across the seas

Back to where you wait for me

I hope I know when I should leave

Like silt on the riverbank

Like sunlight through the trees

I'm your fallen star returning

And never will I leave

A breath of mist upon your skin

Hangs steady through the morning

A feather brush over your shoulder

A breath of mist upon your skin

I'll trade my blood for Blackwood waters

And a song if you will carry me

Through this darkening land before us

I'll trade my blood for Blackwood tears

Like silt on the riverbank

Like sunlight through the trees

I'm your fallen star returning

And never will I leave

A feather brush over your shoulder

A breath of mist upon your skin

I'll trade my blood for Blackwood waters

I'll trade my blood for Blackwood tears

Like silt on the riverbank

Like sunlight through the trees

I'm your fallen star returning

And never will I leave

I hope I know which way to go

When it's time for me to head home

I hope I do not miss the turning

And I know which way to go

I hope I know when I should leave

From these shores across the seas

Back to where you wait for me
