Broadbeam Cradle-Song
from Chapter 37 of Sansûkh
Lyrics under cut
It was a very special day
The most special beyond measure
Because it was upon that day
That Mahal made a treasure.
He took the diamonds from the sky,
And made them glow and glow
Then he put them in your eyes
And how I love them so.
He took the shine of silver
As bright as bright can be,
He fashioned it into your smile
And then gave you to me
He took the gentle gleam of gold
And cupped it in his hands
And made a loving little heart
The best in all the lands
He took the mithril sweet and pure
And made a little soul
And then he saw my empty arms,
And so he made them whole.
I thank him for you every day,
And love you through and through
And with each morning sun that dawns
I am more in love with you.
Wherever you may wander,
And whatever you may mine,
You are always loved, my baby,
Until the end of time.
It was a very special day
The most special beyond measure
Because it was upon that day
That Mahal made a treasure.
