You were a star in the sky
Over the sinking sun
Of all the voices that cried
You were the only one
Telling us what we should hear
Trust of friends through the years -
Is this the night of your return?

There is a house on the hill
Where all your old friends wait
Softly the firelight spills
Out to the stony gate -
Voices from inside the door
Calling you back to the shore
Out of the night of your return

We wait for you
We wait for you
Is this the night of your return?

You know the evening by name
Drawn to the secretive
Still, we are one and the same -
We have our weaknesses
So many things we would say
But we will wait until day
This is the night of your return
We wait for you
We wait for you
This is the night of your return
