 THE BALLADS OF BLOOD
 DOWN TO THE SEA [traditional: Lavender's Blue] Down to the sea flows the river There I must go... Parted from thee by the river Loathing to go... Wait thou for me at the river When I must go... I'll come to thee on the river Or rest below...
I'M OFF TO BE A SAILOR [original tune] I'm off to be a sailor, and sail upon the sea-- Or raft along the river... it matters not to me. I long for an adventure-- no stay at home I'll be! Just give me stars to steer by-- and that's enough for me. So give a cheer for danger, a rousing, "One, two, three!" I'm off to be a sailor-- 'til my mother catches me! THE PROPHECY [traditional: Greensleeves] An elven lay there was of old, Of sunstone bound in setting gold, Of moonstone wondrous to behold, And bloodstone foretelling tomorrow- In ancient days when elves were king-- The legends told of a wondrous thing. In elven hands, together bring-- And see an end to all sorrow. But bloodstone was to humans tossed, While moonstone's healing gifts held cost, And sunstone's mystic powers, lost, Are sleeping until the morrow…. I TRIED TO WRITE A SONG FOR YOU [original tune] I tried to write a song for you, To tell you how I feel. I tried to write a song for you, But the words won't come out real... I loved you from the very start. The first day that we met... I loved you from the very start, And now I can't forget-- That to you, I'm just another note, In an ever changing theme... And the hope I bear, for love's return, Is only a passing dream....
