"Pathways of the Night" lyrics

The spirits of the dead whisper beyond the waves
And darkling siren-bird now draws near to mourn
But useless are the tears and laments upon this shore
For Fate is not benign, Death heeds not my cry

I shall wait for you when the sun is seeking its rest
I shall wait for you when the moon is over the peaks
And night itself will take us into its arms
And night itself will fold us both in its peace

Come back to me
Come through the moonlit dream
With gleaming eyes so bright
And wind in your hair

Come back in tears
Through pathways of the night
Come back to me, I beg
So that I may live

May thy grave be in bloom with flowers rich and fair
No wretched thorns nor sorry goat-weeds there
But sweetest violets and bending daffodils
And all around thee roses spring in multitudes

I shall look for you in the silent trails of the night
I shall look for you beyond the veil of sleep

And yet I wait to see your face once more
And yet I wait to walk with you in forgotten dreams
And night itself will take us into its arms
And night itself will fold us both in its peace
