Single Tana Ballad

On, on from darkness into dawn,
Let's escape the past.
Go, dragon, anywhere.
I don't care how fast.
From rain into the rainbow,
Spread your wings and fly with me.
Gone, gone all my grief and woe.
What matter to where I go if I am free?

Beyond the blue horizon
Something's waiting for me.
Goodbye to things that are boring
There's better things to see.
I see a new horizon,
My life has only begun.
Beyond the blue horizon lies a rising sun.

(adapted from "Beyond the Blue Horizon" by Whiting and Harling)

"One Small Island; Everything"

One small island,
four different worlds.
What do we have?
Children and keepers,
hunters and helpers,
Fighters and friends,
Orphans and families,
Artists, lovers, listeners,
lives not yet begun.
What will we do?
Unfold truth,
flow thy poison.
Return life,
grow thy judgement.
Pass upon death,
love, let happen.
Begin birth,
fell thy evil.
All must learn
in time, time, time...

"One in Order"

One for the born ruler, fair and wise
Two for the Air and amethyst eyes
Three for Fire and wings of gold
Four for Land, a pixie bold
Five for Water, though a time so short
Six again for Water, a noble shadow in the court
Seven for Land, the smiling Queen
Eight for Air, calm as a stream
Nine for Fire and a worker of metal
Ten again for Land, a young boy gentle
Eleven for Water, the powerful mage
Twelve, not yet come in this age

"Sea Shanty"

Oh this ship is a good one,
And we'll sail her anywhere,
With the giant, mer and elf on board,
And a lap dragon in my hair.
So hoist the anchor, loose the sails,
Give us a wind that never fails,
And we'll sail this old ship
From here to Shadow Star.

(adapted from "Mossflower" by Brian Jacques)

"Single Tana Ballad"

In once a country crossing
I saw a sunny show;
Knights broke up the party,
And it was time to go.

I woke myself at daylight,
When morning came to pass.
I tripped upon the doorstep
And fell into the grass.

There was a horse from Cascadia
He had a great long stride,
But something gave within him
And he just up and died.

I sat among the moonlight
Watching it pass me.
It sailed gracefully across the sky,
And crashed into a tree.

And that's the Single Tana Ballad, my friends,
I don't expect you to bill me,
Because I always take my pay in advance,
Now I leave before you kill me.
