Night Of Your Return - Fernando Ortega

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
