Lyrics
Alone they soar, far above the land

Whilst my sweet love still holds my hand

Their path now meets the coming rain

They have now gone, I must remain

But one truth I know:

One solace I can take.

At journeys end their soul awakes

At journeys end their soul awakes

At journeys end their soul awakes



I leave them now, to our ancient glade

to rest eternal where all shall lay

As I take my leave, I will feel this pain

of the closing dark, and coming rain.

But one truth I know:

One solace I can take

<p style="text-align:center;">At journeys end their soul awakes

<p style="text-align:center;">At journeys end their soul awakes

<p style="text-align:center;">At journeys end their soul awakes

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">One day I know, I shall return

<p style="text-align:center;">to where my love and heartache burns

<p style="text-align:center;">But till my skein at last has set

<p style="text-align:center;">My sweetest love, I shall not forget

<p style="text-align:center;">But one truth I know

<p style="text-align:center;">When my night finally breaks

<p style="text-align:center;">At journeys end our souls awake

<p style="text-align:center;">At journeys end our souls awake

<p style="text-align:center;">At journeys end our souls awake

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Alone I will soar, far above the land

<p style="text-align:center;">Where I long to hold, my lovers hand.
