I hope I know which way to go 
When it's time for me to head home 
I hope I do not miss the turning 
And I know which way to go 

I hope I know when I should leave 
From these shores across the seas 
Back to where you wait for me 
I hope I know when I should leave 

Chorus: 

Like silt on the riverbank 
Like sunlight through the trees 
I'm your fallen star returning 
And never will I leave 

A breath of mist upon your skin 
Hangs steady through the morning 
A feather brush over your shoulder 
A breath of mist upon your skin 

I'll trade my blood for Blackwood waters 
And a song if you will carry me 
Through this darkening land before us 
I'll trade my blood for Blackwood tears 

Chorus: 

Like silt on the riverbank 
Like sunlight through the trees 
I'm your fallen star returning 
And never will I leave 

A feather brush over your shoulder 
A breath of mist upon your skin 
I'll trade my blood for Blackwood waters 
I'll trade my blood for Blackwood tears 

Chorus: 

Like silt on the riverbank 
Like sunlight through the trees 
I'm your fallen star returning 
And never will I leave 

I hope I know which way to go 
When it's time for me to head home 
I hope I do not miss the turning 
And I know which way to go 

I hope I know when I should leave 
From these shores across the seas 
Back to where you wait for me
