Evening Star lyrics

Days are long and nights are cold, the rivers run

I'm swept away down distant paths, the road goes on

From the halls of the free to the tower of torment

Where treasures lie in mountains high

The silent fields of stars so far and wide

The oceans of infinity, the great divide

In the heavens on high is a light so lonely

The evening star that shines so far

When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind

I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind

For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered

The evening star has shone thus far

River rushing, waters wide, just north of there

Oh would that I was home again and home was here

And the fire was warm and the wind would whisper

You're home again, on roofs the rain

When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind

I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind

For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered

The evening star has shone thus far

When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind

I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind

For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered

The evening star to me you are
