Lament Of A Minstrel

For the moon and the sun

and for the winds I've sung,

hear how the lovely tones dance

upon my tongue.

I've gazed upon the Orion

for oh so many nights,

astounded by the beauty of the dark

and sparkling sky.

I'm a lonely minstrel,

a traveller on a road to nowhere

I sing a song to lighten the day

so come along as I walk away.

The lute's the only the friend

I've got by my side,

who's shared by moments

as I laughed and cried.

I comfort my heart

with a jar of wine,

in the memory of love that once was mine.
