[Verse 1]
Gazing across the centuries
Home is a distant memory
Beneath these trees deep shadows roam
Dark are my dreams in the stars' ever-fading glow

[Refrain]
So long ago I believed
I would return one day back to those shores
To remain evermore

[Pre-Chorus]
Awaiting love to let me go
Wandering star-dusk shadow
Songbirds sing of long lost light
All I left behind

[Chorus]
My heart it longs to escape
This dark wonderland
My heart it bears all the weight
Of my mistakes
I am she who yearns to retrace the steps of memories

[Post-Chorus]
My prayer to return erelong
My heart's evensong
[Verse 2]
Longing for what was dear to me
Weary of this captivity
Moonlight unveils weeping paths of stone
O'er mountains steep, dare I try to climb my way home?

[Refrain]
So long ago I believed
I would return one day back to those shores
To remain evermore

[Pre-Chorus]
Growing pale as a spirit's flame
Slumbering souls beneath this place
Deafened to the homesong's call
I've heard all along

[Chorus]
My heart it longs to escape
This dark wonderland
My heart it bears all the weight
Of my mistakes
I am she who has walked this lonely world for centuries
