Precipitation

What my dear friend
Are you or I
No more than the shadows
Of clouds passing by
Lit from above
By the warmth of the Sun
Weeping tears to the earth
Before we are done
Hoping to leave
Some mark e'er we die
But we are just shadows
Of clouds passing by

Songs from Princess Eloise - Encounter - Nothing We Did

Boy sings within the forge with the Bruin looking on without understanding.
Girl sings to her aged nurse in her bedroom at the castle.

Boy-
Know you that I love you well
Smithy, forge and flame and all
Know you that I love you well
Majestic pines standing tall

Know you that I love you well
When hammers ring and hammers fall
Yet on my heart a hammer fell
Now I know you not at all

Boy-
No one ever stepped within
And sat with me as she did

Girl -
No one ever took my hand
And looked at me as he did

Both-
Now something new begins within
I fear it cannot be hid
Who can know how it will grow
It was nothing we did

Girl-
Know you that I cannot tell
What happened to my heart tonight

Boy-
Know you that I love you well
But see a new star shining bright

Girl-
Know you that I cannot tell
How long I may stay with you

Boy-
Know you that I love you well
But there is more that I must do

Boy-
No one ever stepped within
And sat with me as she did

Girl -
No one ever took my hand
And looked at me as he did

Both-
Now something new begins within
I fear it cannot be hid
Who can know how it will grow
It was nothing we did

Now something new begins within
I fear it cannot be hid
Who can know how it will grow
It was nothing we did

Songs from Princess Eloise - Bitter Kingdom - The Nurse's Song

Always sing a lullaby
That the little one not cry
Why let her know of suffering
Or the pain that life will bring

The little one so pure and true
Smiles at me - what can I do
But wrap her up in cotton wool
So much more than dutiful

But when she calls and when she cries
Her tears fall from mine own eyes
When e'er she bids me quick I go
Because I love her so

And always sing a lullaby
That my darling girl not cry
Let her not know of suffering
Nor the pain that life will bring
