Sing for the memories...

lyrics

Twilight falls across the land
And a pain strikes me as I understand
It's the last night of Pennsic, it's soon time to go,
And I wish, oh, I wish, that it were not so.

But all stories must end, all songs fade away,
Like the sun going down at the ending of day.
So tomorrow we pack up our gear and we leave
Even though in our hearts we surely will grieve.

CHORUS:
Pennsic, farewell! Adieu and good-bye!
Rest in our hearts as we pass the year by.
Many a time we'll remember and smile,
Oh, glad was the heart that could stay here a while.

For two weeks we have lived as folks long ago.
We've seen battles and courts and campfires a-glow.
All the riches of the ages were ours for a song,
In a place where so briefly we truly belong.

But we know in our hearts, our time here must end.
To our lives and our work our paths now must wend.
So I ask you to join me, as with a sad sigh,
I bid these fair hills so fondly good-bye. (CH)

Well, the firelight shines on each smiling face,
Like the warm love I feel for this hallowed place.
Yet, I know it's not classes nor courts that I'll miss
Not the archery nor merchants that give such sweet bliss.

What we'll miss is the lake shining torch-lit through trees,
Sound of laughter and drums carried soft on the breeze,
The stars blazing brightly in dark skies above,
The dreams that we live, the people we love. (CH)

Oh, glad is this heart that could stay here a while.
