Moonlit Tankards

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The door swings wide on boots and rain Mud on the floor, gold in the vein We set our packs by the fire’s glow And laugh like we’ve come back home The barkeep grins, the candles sway A whole long day just washed away The bard up front with a silver smile Plucks us all to life awhile [Pre-Chorus] Raise your cup, let the evening lean We’ve walked through wolves and thorny green Now your name is safe in the song And the night can dance along [Chorus] Sing, sing, all night long Feet on the boards, hearts on strong Sing, sing, hold me near We came back home, we’re here, we’re here (we’re here, we’re here) Dwarves on the bench, elves in a ring Magic folk laughing, everyone sing Sing, sing, all night long We came back home, we dance along [Verse 2] A dwarf with ash on his braided beard Tells of a cave and a beast they cleared An elf in green with a crooked bow Says, “That was close, you know” The spellweaver winks, lifts a glass of red “Burned through my charms and kept my head” And I sing soft while the stories bloom Like summer honey in a crowded room [Pre-Chorus] Raise your cup, let the evening lean We’ve walked through wolves and thorny green Now your name is safe in the song And the night can dance along [Chorus] Sing, sing, all night long Feet on the boards, hearts on strong Sing, sing, hold me near We came back home, we’re here, we’re here (we’re here, we’re here) Dwarves on the bench, elves in a ring Magic folk laughing, everyone sing Sing, sing, all night long We came back home, we dance along [Bridge] If the road was cold, let it stay outside If the wild was dark, we outshined Hands to the table, round and round Every scar turns silver now [Final Chorus] Sing, sing, all night long Feet on the boards, hearts on strong Sing, sing, hold me near We came back home, we’re here, we’re here (we’re here, we’re here) Dwarves on the bench, elves in a ring Magic folk laughing, everyone sing Sing, sing, all night long We came back home, we dance along
