时长: 06:49
Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm [00:00:50]
That will not forsake you till my tale is told and done [00:00:58]
[00:01:04]
While the firelight's aglow strange shadows from the flames will grow [00:01:09]
Till things we've never seen will seem familiar [00:01:17]
[00:01:21]
Shadows of a sailor forming winds both foul and fair all swarm [00:01:28]
Down in Carlisle he loved a lady many years ago [00:01:35]
Here beside him stands a man a soldier from the looks of him [00:01:46]
Who came through many fights but lost at love [00:01:54]
While the story teller speaks a door within the fire creaks [00:02:05]
Suddenly flies open and a girl is standing there [00:02:12]
Eyes alight with glowing hair all that fancy paints as fair [00:02:24]
She takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den [00:02:31]
Which of you to gain me tell will risk uncertain pains of hell [00:02:42]
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance [00:02:50]
The sailor gave at least a try the soldier being much too wise [00:03:01]
Strategy was his strength and not disaster [00:03:08]
The sailor coming out again the lady fairly leapt at him [00:03:56]
That's how it stands today you decide if he was wise [00:04:03]
The story teller makes no choice soon you will not hear his voice [00:04:15]
His job is to shed light and not to master [00:04:22]
Since the end is never told we pay the teller off in gold [00:06:17]
In hopes he will come back but he cannot be bought or sold [00:06:24]
