Spellsinger, A Song For Bragi

by Ari

Listen to mp3 (sung by Raven)
The sheet music is available as a PDF.

Spellsinger sits in the morning air,

Sun glints copper on long flowing hair,

Fingers dance magic on silver strings,

Everyone listens when a true bard sings.

Make me a melody, sing me a song,

Make it as sweet as the day is long,

Make it as fresh as the morning dew,

And easy enough that a fool like me

Can learn to sing like you.

 

I’ll give you a memory of flesh on fire

And the dance of my heartbeat as the flames grow higher

In trade for the music just out of my reach

For even a fool has something to teach.

Make me a melody, sing me a song,

Make it as sweet as the day is long,

Make it as fresh as the morning dew,

And easy enough that a fool like me

Can learn to play like you.

 

Feel the sun beating down, feel the heat,

Feel the earth turning beneath your feet,

Feel the wheel spin on which all life turns,

For even a wise man has something to learn.

Spell singer, please write a song for me,

As high as a mountain, as deep as the sea,

With a spell to make this old world seem new

And easy enough that a fool like me

Can be magic just like you.
