Back Home

Fate brought me here once

So far from forlorn home

From woods dark and mountains high

Alone and lost

I’m wandering the wilderness

So far away exiled

From my only home

So far the path took me once

Too far from those lands I loved

Alone and lost

I’m searching for shelter

So far from home

Forgotten in midnight awe

So far from meads and dales

The path took me away

Far away into ever lost days

Wandering in ever lost lands I’ve never seen before

Longing for only but a dream to come once back home

Forever lost in the flow of restless time

Far beneath cold memories’ tide

I see in the end of day

Far dreams of meads and dales

All the flowers blooming in the valley

Above and below all glaring with white

Far beyond the edge of time

I see the path leading me home

All so dear — the lake, the meads all in blossom

The sky of blue, the mountains so high

Far away from dream

It all now flows real

So far from the void and cold

Away from the ruins of war

I walk now back home
