The Nurse's Song ... Nothing We Did ... Embers ... Evenings ... Eryn's Song
The Nurse's Song
Follows 'Bitter Kingdom'
Always sing a lullaby
That the little one not cry
Why let her know of suffering
Or the pain that life will bring
The little one so pure and true
Smiles at me - what can I do
But wrap her up in cotton wool
So much more than dutiful
But when she calls and when she cries
Her tears fall from my own eyes
When e'er she bids me quick I go
Because I love her so
And always sing a lullaby
That my darling girl not cry
Let her not know of suffering
Nor the pain that life will bring
Nothing We Did
Follows 'Encounter'
Boy - Gazing around the forge that he no longer knows, as the Bruin looks on without understanding
Know you that I love you well
Smithy, forge and flame and all
Know you that I love you well
Majestic pines standing tall
Know you that I love you well
When hammers ring and hammers fall
Yet on my heart a hammer fell
Now I know you not at all
No one ever stepped within
And sat with me as she did
Girl - Seated on the edge of her bed in the castle, looking into the eyes of her aged nurse
No one ever took my hand
And looked at me as he did
Both-
Now something new begins within
I fear it cannot be hid
Who can know how it will grow
It was nothing we did
Girl-
Know you that I cannot tell
What happened to my heart tonight
Boy-
Know you that I love you well
But see a new star shining bright
Girl-
Know you that I cannot tell
How long I may stay with you
Boy-
Know you that I love you well
But there is more that I must do
Boy-
No one ever stepped within
And sat with me as she did
Girl -
No one ever took my hand
And looked at me as he did
Both-
Now something new begins within
I fear it cannot be hid
Who can know how it will grow
It was nothing we did
Now something new begins within
I fear it cannot be hid
Who can know how it will grow
It was nothing we did
Embers
Follows 'Rapture'
Watch it all burn
Watch it burn down
The line that leads to the crown
Burning our names - let them die
Then like the Phoenix we fly
Embers adrift in the sky
Watching it burn
Watching it fall
Burn down the throne - crown and all
Prince and Princess you and I
Away to the forest we fly
Free as the birds in the sky
See the sky
How it glows
Smell the smoke
On our clothes
Evenings
Follows 'Gardening'
When will she open her heart to me
Trust me with her mystery
My hands are a safe place for her heart to be
When will she open her heart to me
If I should open my heart to you
I just can't know what you will do
Will tragedy start when I open my heart
If I should open my heart to you
When I see her tomorrow what will she say
When I see him tomorrow will it all go away
Will she part with the smallest part of her heart
If I give it to him will he tear me apart
Ah that is another day
My heart is no mystery to you
The glance of a moment can cut me in two
Oh give me the smallest part of your heart
My heart is no mystery to you
All of my life and there was none
How can I know if you are the one
The smallest of slips and I am undone
For all of my life there was none
When I see him tomorrow please let him stay
When I see her tomorrow I'll not go my way
Until she will part with a part of her heart
Each night it gets harder to be torn apart
And wait for another day
Will I see you tomorrow - please say
That I'll see you tomorrow - let it be the day
When each of us part with the cares of our heart
And give to each other the power to start
And welcome another day
Eryn's Song
Follows 'Eryn'
Pass the years - pass the years
Spring to fall and back again
Fall my tears - fall my tears
That the memory may dim
Without hope I cried and ran
Now she that ran is lost and gone
And Eryn in her caravan
Tells her tale to no-one
Eryn in her caravan
This is what I am
I wake then sleep - I wake then sleep
I am content with the plan
Eryn in her caravan
This is what I am
But see the boy - oh the boy
The image of the one that fell
And here - his guardian in my care
That has loved and raised him well
I thought not to love again
Bereft of love I fled away
Hid within a caravan
Until this moment hour and day
Eryn in her caravan
This is what I am
But see my boy returns to me
Become a man - how now the plan?
Eryn in her caravan
This is what I am
If I should fall - if I should fall
No-one can go back again
In spite of all - in spite of all
Perhaps I may begin again
If Eloise may be saved
And my boy does love her so
Then perhaps may love be braved
And once again love I may know
Eryn in her caravan
This is what I am
My heartbeat may not let me sleep
And love may force a change of plan
But Eryn in her caravan
This is what I am
