Sheet Music
It's up in the morning and on my way
To marry make throughout the day
With a string or horn or wind or drum
I sing for you and I sing for fun
Well It Happened One Day by Averly
Between Fox Grove and the Briar Sea
My wagon was hailed with call to hold
By 13 men in brown and gold
The captain stepped forward with a nasty grin
And said “well bard, shall we begin?
I'll have your horse and your wagon fine
And tonight you'll sing for me and mine
Without do care for my tools or blade
They took my lead, but no fuss I made
For though they cut away my purse
They'd asked of me a song and verse
So That evening long I entertained
Of war and jest and love I sang
And I'd have left lighter and fed
but they ordered me to the cpts bed.
I'll take anything but an insult made
Put my lute down and I drew my blade
And the captain who praised my sing song lilt
I knocked out flat with the pommel and hilt
A bard I'll be, and a minstrel fine
But my loves the dagger, so I carry nine
One for each bandit that jumped to the fray
Two in my sleeve when the rest ran away
I gathered my lute and my wagon and horse
Set out on my merry making course,
I'll give up my purse and I’ll gift my voice,
But I will fight if you take my choice.
You (G) say that you have (Em) heard the tales
and (C) rightly so you (D) may
But (Em) I have one that (C) you will find
is (D) newly sung (G) today
I traveled over mountainside
and through the Orson pass
I stopped in Martha Burry’s Inn
and thought it'd be my last
And sometimes when I tread the peak
I’d hear a quiet sound
that (Em) settled in my (D) wayward ear
and (C) followed me (G)around.
(Em) I am a bard, (C) a wanderlust
and (G)I am made to (D) sing
(Em)Lightfoot and (C) lark hearted
(D)my fingers love the (G)strings
I left the road to follow fast
a whisper, a suggestion
To searched the cliff and mountain peak
to ease my song obsession
I heard it in my blood and bones
A thunder in the air
Over jagged rock and stones
into a dragons laire.
His scales where sterling silver,
tooth and claw a striking white.
His voice was deep and dulcet asf
it echo’d in the heights
“Womanling, you’ve left your fire
What did you think to find,
For don't you know, I hunger and
We feast upon your kind.”
I am a bard, a wanderlust
and I am made to sing
Lightfoot and lark hearted
my fingers love the strings
I answered in an honest truth,
It was your voice that called
from through the mountainside I came
i have been clear enthralled
And if I die to hear you sing
My life is better lost
For just one song before I go
It would be worth the cost.
The Dragon laughed and settled down
And sang to me a tune
I couldn't help but hum along
It ended far too soon
“Would that the mountain had a heart,
Would that the wind had breath
If stars could hum, and ocean drum
Such music, light and death.”
I am a bard, a wanderlust
and I am made to sing
Lightfoot and lark hearted
my fingers love the strings
We sang under that pale moonlight
And I bargained for my life
that I should stay forever And
become a dragon’s wife.
I settled in the mountainside
an aria at dawn
the harmony at brightest day
at dusk an evensong
In time I spoke on who I’d been,
he shared with me his name
But I am a creature of the air
my voice grew soft and strained
With every day I lived I lost
A little off my soul
And so my husband made a choice:
The Dragon let me go.
I am a bard, a wanderlust
and I am made to sing
Light footed and lark hearted
My fingers love the strings
He gave to me a silver gem
Bound fast by a silver chain
He said to keep it by my heart
and there is still remains
The light is on the mountainside
The rumble in the clay
My husband sleeps under the sun
Where a napping dragon lay
I hoped that you enjoyed my song
for I'll be leaving soon
Im going home to my own love
To sing a happy tune.
