The Blackwood Songtext
von Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo

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
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
The song of you will carry me
Through this darkening land before us
I'll trade my blood for Blackwood tears


Like silt on the riverbank
Like sunlight through the trees
I'm your fallen star returning
And never will I leave
(Feather brush over your shoulder)
Oh, never will I leave
(Breath of mist upon your skin)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Trade my blood for Blackwood waters)
Never will I leave
(Trade my blood for Blackwood tears)
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
I hope I know when I should leave
I hope I know when I should leave
I hope I know when I should leave
