Lyrics:
I remember our master called us away,
From the blood and the fire of those forlorn days.
There she did tell us “you’re ragged and spent!”
Then at her orders, to home we went.
Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.
We haul to the south, where the fairies once played.
To the springs and the meadows, and those forest glades;
We sail to the place where we spent better days.
I remember the dances, the plays and the songs.
The crowds and the laughs as we pushed through the throng.
The shouts of our sisters were lost to the breeze.
As we leapt and spun through the boughs of the trees.
Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.
We haul to the south, where the fairies once played.
To the springs and the meadows, and those forest glades;
We sail to the place where we spent better days.
I remember my lover and his sweet smile
Our adventures over our soaring isle.
I long for the time when I wasn’t away
But know my dear, my heart never strayed.
Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.
We haul to the south, where the fairies once played.
To the springs and the meadows, and those forest glades;
We sail to the place where we spent better days.
I remember my lover, and his strong arms
We’d roam through the highlands and see their charms.
I can still feel his touch, in the grass where we laid
If he could see me now, what would he say?
Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.
We haul to the south, where the fairies once played.
To the springs and the meadows, and those forest glades;
We sail to the place where we spent better days.
At last we see old faithful, beached on the rocks.
Our sisters stood upon her bones, glaring like hawks
Yet I could see how they wallow, and how their hearts burn
As they wave us past, to a home heavens spurned.
Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.
We haul to the south, where the fairies once played.
Yet as we reach the springs and the meadows, and those forest glades;
I wish I could see something other than graves.
Where once was green beauty, a land unsurpassed
Now all that's left is the mist and the ash
I and my lover are united once more
Yet the kiss of cold stone leaves me yearning for war.
Oh the skies go dark, and the wind blows away
I stare at the place where the fairies once played.
The springs and the meadows, and those forest glades
I wish I could see something other than graves.
Our once vibrant home is so silent and still.
I drown my sorrows in the most disgusting of swill
But soon it is over, our names called once more.
I’m glad to be gone from this haunted shore.
Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.
We haul to the north, where the damn demons lay.
I head to a battle I might not survive
But those monsters will know the whole time I’m alive.
Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.
We haul to the north, where the damn demons lay.
I head to a battle I might not survive
But those monsters will know the whole time I’m alive.
But those monsters will know the whole time I’m alive!

This is my first read through of this story arc. I just finished going through the main series and I am hopeful that you will keep writing more on both story arc’s. This song is excellent and fits. I can see Minyan and Gramps getting married and having the girls sing this song in the main story arc.

This got me kind of choked up I'll be honest the singing was beautiful and the ending was chilling but in a good way

I enjoyed this quite a bit, I'm glad I came back to give it a listen. I've actually been avoiding the AU stories cause I can get stories twisted in my head if the have themes and characters to similar but this makes me want to read them both! The worst is me having to reread them to get the facts straight xD

Good thing its a sky shanty XD
Blaggard
It's a bit too complex for a sea shanty. The tone is sorta right, but that's about it. As a song ok, as a shanty no k.
Kat
This is awesome
Josh
Lol am I the only one who's relistened to this several times by now?
Josh

Tap/click the three dots and select "download" - at least on iPhone and in the browser. How to put it on your phone depends on your phone - you'd probably have to search online for that.
Jim Murphy
How do you listen to it?
Echo Sparksong
It should be...
Andrew Denton
How do I download this so I can put it on my phone?

This is really great. But I propose the second line in every verse and the refrain to end in a high tone to go better with the typical shanty feeling.
Sean McCook
It wasn’t bad but not the same 🥲

Theres a "the donkey & the whore" sea shanty on YouTube from a little over a year ago, but it doesn't reference BoC.
Old Dog
Thank you Farmer.
Martin Toder

Sean McCook
Now I need a recording of the whore and the donkey

this is beautiful and sad and sweet and I want more stuff like this. The SHI AU may have been one of the most beautiful accidents to happen to this story and world.
Jerry harris
Is this on iTunes?
Andrew Denton
It really is bittersweet.
