This song is about Elspeth's quest and her reaction to it, particularly at about the end of Ashling. Although she does not know about the quest untill the end of Obernewtyn, she always feels different.
Blackroad
All my life I've been waiting Waiting for the call Waiting 'till when I must leave To follow the blackroad
I always kept myself appart Pushing love away 'Cause I knew it could not last Knew I must leave some day
I thought it better never to Open up my heart Thought it would not hurt as much When time came to part
All my life I've been waiting Waiting for the call Waiting 'till when I must leave To follow the blackroad
I never showed my feelings Never showed I care Never showed how much it meant To me that you were there
I never knew just how much strength Having friends could give Never knew that loving Could make you want to live
All my life I've been waiting Waiting for the call Waiting 'till when I must leave To follow the blackroad To follow the blackroad Following the blackroad
