So Long the Path (So Wide the Field) Lyrics

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
