The night is long the moon shines on the pane
The breeze stirs curtains dancing like the rain
The candle flickers shadows start to sway
We swore our love would never fade away
Through changing tides and fields of shifting sand
A simple life is sweet when hand in hand
The night remains but you are gone from sight
You’ve flown away into the distant light
Ten thousand miles across the mountain crest
O wandering bird when will you come to rest
But sudden snow and bitter winds arise
To sweep away the dreams before my eyes
I hope you know that staying isn't easy
In simple tales no legends do we need
I wish you knew that love abhors the parting
A cruel game of fate we must concede
The whole wide world can see my heart still holds you
I search the earth but only find my tears
I am the only one who knows the truth:
I’ll wait for you through all the passing years
Even if it’s all in vain I'll wait through all my years
The night remains but you are gone from sight
You’ve flown away into the distant light
Ten thousand miles across the mountain crest
O wandering bird when will you come to rest
But sudden snow and bitter winds arise
To sweep away the dreams before my eyes
I hope you know that staying isn't easy
In simple tales no legends do we need
I wish you knew that love abhors the parting
A cruel game of fate we must concede
The whole wide world can see my heart still holds you
I search the earth but only find my tears
I am the only one who knows the truth:
I’ll wait for you through all the passing years
Even if it’s all in vain I'll wait through all my years
Even if it’s all in vain
I'll wait through all my years
