So Long The Path (So Wide The Field)

So long the path

So hard the journey

When I will return

I cannot say for sure

Until then the nights will be long and

Sleep will be full of dark dreams and sadness

But don't weep for me

Just think of me with love and fondness

Wait for the Spring then

Once again I'll be back in your arms

And I know you are near when

I see the red star burning bright on the Kreùlin

That star is my heart

Burning red with hopeful passion

And I know it won't be far

For where ever the star, there you are

So long the path

So hard the journey

In the Spring I'll see your eyes full of welcome

And I know I'll be home

I'll be home

I'll be home
