Love of The Hill by Lord Dunstan LeHeryngmongere words and Music copyright 2001 by Keith Edward Nealson |
A E D D I had a dream the other night it was amazingly clear A E D D We were at a court I think not far from here. A E D D ‘Twas full of pomp and circumstance; of pageantry and pride A E D D And all the local folk were assembled there. And we were there to welcome back a traveler long gone Around the world and back again he’d roamed For many a year he’d been away and now he had returned To the Barony that he had once called home He’d been way to Drachenvald- to Adenveldt- and the Outlands I asked him which had been his favorite place His hand went to the Kittyhawk he wore around his neck And he said with a smile upon his face. CHORUS: A E D A Older than the oldest oak I know of A E D A Brighter than the stars on a summer night A E D A Clearer than the cry of the evening whippoorwill D E A Is the love I have for Windmaster’s Hill. I said surely there must be in all the lands you’ve been A place that has grown closer to your heart A place that showed you beauty- the likes you’ve never seen A place that you thought you could never part. He just smiled again and wiped away a tear And said in tones both truthful and clear- Yes there is just such a place for which I long have yearned And now, at long last I have returned CHORUS Perhaps I never shall grow up- but if I ever do I hope to be a man who’s traveled well But most of all I know I’ll be a man who loves his home For my home is that of Windmasters’ Hill CHORUS NOTES: I began to write this song shortly after I heard the song Fair Lady Atlantia by Master Efenwealt Wystle. I was sitting in the later evening hours outside a tent at Optimist Farm in AS XXXV listening to a whippoorwill and noodling around when the words hit me over the head. |
