Herald's Lament Lyrics - Singles - Mercedes Lackey

A hand to aid along the road 

A laugh to lighten any load 

A place to bring a burdened heart 

And heal the ache of sorrow's dart 

Who'd willing share in joy or tears 

And help to ease the darkest fears 

Or my soul like his own defend 

And all because he was my friend 

No grave could hold so free a soul 

I see him in the frisking foal 

I hear him laughing on the breeze 

That stirs the very tops of trees 

He soars with falcons on the wing 

He hears the song that night birds sing 

Death never dared him captive keep 

He lies not there, he does not sleep 

[Solo] 

But there is silence at my side 

That haunts the place he used to ride 

And my Companion can't belay 

The loss that I sustained this day 

How bleak the future now has grown 

Since I must face it all alone 

My road is weary, dark and steep 

And it is for myself I weep
