Lyrics
In the predawn
of a journey's end song
my ship peals through the mist
of a cold grey morning at sea
Darion isn't too far on
If you peer through the sails
as they swell in the wind
you will see
Carrying a cargo
filled with silver and gold
and treasures untold
she awaits
No one from my home
has seen Darion
But I tell them of dangers
and women with fire in their eyes
We must hurry our task
and take all the last
for the marketmen wager
to fill up their purses
with lies
Once I knew a girl there
she had my heart to hold
I thought she was my own
I was wrong
