Shariara's Lament

Lyrics sung by a lonely soul along the shore of a stormy sea…

I lift my eyes to see you

Your smile once shone on me

We danced a while as one heart

Now I dance alone

The dance plays on

and alone I weep

for a promise lost

in fading memories

You sailed away

on a stormy day

And sank beneath the briny sea

I lift my eyes to see you

Your smile once shone on me

We danced a while as one heart

Now I dance alone

So now I wait

for your shade’s return

I stalk this shore

dancing here for you

With your faithful hound

trailing by my side

I embrace the foamy brine alone

I lift my eyes to see you

Your smile once shone on me

We danced a while as one heart

Now I dance alone

I composed the lyrics and the tune. I also provided the vocals and the sound mix. The above drawing is also by me.
