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.
