'''Broken Sky'''

So many lost on that endless day 

Couldn’t find you on that endless day 

And I never will 

There’s a hole where you should be 

Light that now I cannot see 

This wound will never heal 

Gone, gone forever, never coming back 


You told me a lie, you said forever 

And still I face the broken sky 

All I want to do is cry 

But still I face the broken sky 


Chaos took us, changing everything 

Time and distance doesn’t change a thing 

I miss you every day 

Empty as the black and cold 

No more a life that once was bold 

My scars are all inside 


I know you’d want me to try 

So still I face the broken sky 

With these wings I still can fly 

Strength to face the broken sky 


Gone, gone forever, never coming back 

Taken, taken from me far too soon 


You told me a lie, you said forever 

And still I face the broken sky 

All I want to do is cry 

But still I face the broken sky 

Still I face the broken sky

'''Song Location:''' Harper Hall


Nothing can compare, the whole world is made bright

I have all I need, when you hold me in the night

I feel like singing, when there isnʼt a song

I feel like dancing, can I take you along?

And itʼs all because


I love you

And I feel the need to say

I love you

More and more each day


Lingering kisses, while we stand in the door

Tight knitting fingers and lips promising more

I could spend all day just looking in your eyes

And listening to your soft contented sighs

O, I know


I love you

And I feel the need to say

I love you

More and more each day


Nothing can compare, the whole world is made bright

I have all I need, when you hold me in the night

I feel like singing, when there isnʼt a song

I feel like dancing, can I take you along?

And itʼs all because


I love you

And I feel the need to say

I love you

More and more each day


I love you

And I want to say

That I will love you

Every single day

'''Song Title:''' No Regrets

'''Song Category:''' New Composition

'''Song Author:''' Hartam, Tavern Harper (Vix)

'''Song Date:''' m 3 d 13 for private audience (The Hope That Dies Within, parts 1 & 2) and the following evening at The Tavern

'''Song Location:''' AHH-VH


Oft I've wished I could go back

To days of Turns gone by,

When all we had from overhead

Were dragons in the sky.

But I'm older now and more wise --

Or so I'm meant to be --

So those regrets I'll set aside

For they are what made me.


The disappointments of my youth,

The friends who let me down,

The aches of unreturned love,

The smile turned into frown.

The sadness, oh so personal,

The loss of friends and kin,

The dreams discarded over time,

The hope that died within.


Oft I've wished I could go back

To days of Turns gone by,

When all we had from overhead

Were dragons in the sky.

But I'm older now and more wise --

Or so I'm meant to be --

So those regrets I'll set aside

For they are what made me.


The plague that took so many lives

Left few to persevere.

The Thread that fell from high above

Destroying all but fear.

The quakes a-shaking cot and Hold

Collapsing many weyrs.

The floods that pummeled 'gainst the shores

Brought other dampness - tears.


Oft I've wished I could go back

To days of Turns gone by,

When all we had from overhead

Were dragons in the sky.

But I'm older now and more wise --

Or so I'm meant to be --

So those regrets I'll set aside

For they are what made me.


I think back on all of these,

The problems I've endured,

And realize it's through them all

That I have matured.

None of them has broken me --

I still can sing this song.

'Twas all that seemed hard to bear

That has made me strong.


Oft I've wished I could go back

To days of Turns gone by,

When all we had from overhead

Were dragons in the sky.

But I'm older now and more wise --

Or so I'm meant to be --

So those regrets I'll set aside

For they are what made me.

'''Song Category:''' New Composition

'''Song Author:''' Hartam (Tavern Harper)

'''Song Date:''' Month 2 Day 21 Turn 4 (Post: "A Different Song")

'''Song Location:''' The Tavern at Vintner Hall -- Opening night


''Note: On subsequent occasions and at other locations, line 7 of verse 3 would probably be sung as "An open tavern. . ."''

'''Raise a Glass'''


Oh raise a glass and give a cheer --

We've had our woes but we're still here.

We'll drink a brew, or maybe three,

And spend the night most joyfully!


I never seem to have the marks

To buy all that I need,

And when I dwell on that detail

I feel quite sad indeed.

But I have enough for my bill

For soup and drink tonight,

And that lets me forget the rest

And see my life's alright.


So raise a glass and give a cheer --

We've had our woes but we're still here.

We'll drink a brew, or maybe three,

And spend the night most joyfully!


We're in a Pass, yes, that is true,

That poses us a threat.

If Holdless, odds of surviving

Are not those that I'd bet.

But dragons fly to meet that foe --

They've yet to let us down.

Just that thought is more than enough

To keep me from a frown.


So raise a glass and give a cheer

We've had our woes but we're still here

We'll drink a brew or maybe three

And spend the night most joyfully!


We work all day, sun up to down,

Till our bodies grow weary.

We trudge toward home, our heads bent down,

Our eyes bloodshot and bleary.

But what's this we pass on our way?

Delight none will deprive us --

A brand new Tavern*, kegs of ale,

And friends to revive us!


*An open tavern - alternate verse for subsequent use. 

So raise a glass and give a cheer --

We've had our woes but we're still here.

We'll drink a brew, or maybe three,

And spend the night most joyfully!
