Miscellaneous Love Songs

...catch a falling fire; hold it to the skies;
never let it die away.
For love may come and fill your empty eyes
with the light of more than day... 
		(The Towers of the Sunset, 340)

...I would not live without you,
like aching souls I know,
like older men with hearts of stone,
who chose to live alone...

I would not love without you,
like empty homes I've seen... 

		(The Towers of the Sunset, 340)

You are the fire of my nights,
the light of my days,
and the end of my wand'ring ways.
You are ... you are ... you are
the sun in the skies. 
		(The Towers of the Sunset, 341)

...high upon highland, the brightest of days,
I thought of my lover, and his warm, loving ways... 
		(The Towers of the Sunset, 433)

...and in the summer, and under the trees,
my love will lift you across the farthest seas... 
		(The Towers of the Sunset, 440)

I watched my love sail out to sea,
His hand was deft; he waved to me.
But then the waters foamed white and free
Just as my love turned false to me.

Oh, love is wild, and love is bold,
The fairest flower when e'er it is new,
But love grows old, and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew... 

		(The Magic Engineer, 211)
		(The Order War, 135)

... sing a song of gold coins,
A pack filled up with songbirds,
A minstrel lusting after love,
And yelling out some loving words ... 
		(The Towers of the Sunset, 327)
		(The Order War, 134)
