lyrics by: Michael Williams
Your one true love's a sailing ship
That anchors at our pier.
We lift her sails; We man her decks;
We scrub the portholes clear.
And yes our lighthouse shines for her;
And yes our shores are warm.
We steer her into harbor
Any port in a storm.
The sailors stand upon the dock;
The sailors stand in line.
As thirsty as a dwarf for gold
Or centaurs for cheep wine.
For all the sailors love her
And flock to where she's moored,
Each man hoping that he might
Go down all hands on board!
"Unknown title"
(sung by Tasslehoff)
Come all you young fellows who live by the sea
Kiss a fair maiden and then follow me.
Hoist up the sails and the anchor aweigh
And run with the wind out through Balifor Bay.
"Kender Mourning Song"
lyrics by: Michael Williams
Always before, the spring returned
The bright world in its cycle spun.
In air and flowers, grass and fern
Assured and cradled by the sun.
Always before, you could explain
The turning darkness of the earth.
And how the dark embraced the rain
And gave the ferns and flowers birth.
Already I forgot those things
And how a vein of gold survives
The mining of a thousand springs
The seasons of a thousand lives.
Now winter is my memory;
Now autumn; Now the summerlight
So every spring from now will be
Another season into night.
"Tas's Song of Courage"
Even the night must fail
For light sleeps in the eyes
And dark becomes dark on dark
Until the darkness dies.
Soon the eye resolves
Complexities of night
Into stillness, where the heart
Falls into fabled light.
