Between you, I think you've puzzled out all the lyrics, except I hear "wake" instead of "wait." The first verse makes it clear that she's in a reverie. When evening falls on this strangely gray city, As daylight dies and the lonely hours start, My twilight thoughts leave this alien sky And they fly homeward, homeward -- Hoping there to find my heart. I seem to walk through that faraway twilight, I see a hearth where familiar fires burn. The evening star hovers low above the plain, A faint guitar plays a melancholy strain, And oh! the pain as I wake to know I nevermore can turn Homeward, homeward -- Homeward to the homeland I adore And will see no more. Petina sings something garbled ("be"?) instead of "turn."
