about

When one is a Harper, one must sing, no matter the contents of one's heart.

lyrics

I'll tell you a story, both ancient and new
Of a lad and the love that he promised was true
Of a lass that he left, forevermore blue;
You can hear it in all that she plays.

I tell you this story, for it happened to me:
He swore that he loved me as we stood by the sea
We dreamed of a life that was honest and free;
With my heart in my hands I still play:

---
Harper, your song has a sorrowful sound,
Though the tune was written as gay
Your face is sad and your hands are slow
And your eye meeting mine turns away
---

There is a sadness that touches so deep
You go through your life, half awake, half asleep
And if it was real, then you long for to keep
This yearning in all that you play

Take heed, merry wand'rer, all hope is not gone,
for life is the lesson: Carry on, carry on
For sure as birds sing and the dusk turns to dawn
There is hope in the music we play

---
Harper, your song has a sorrowful sound,
Though the tune was written as gay
Your face is sad and your hands are slow
And your eye meeting mine turns away

Harper, your song has a sorrowful sound,
Though you chose a tune cheerful and gay;
Your face may be sad, and your hands may be slow
But there is hope in the music you play.
