Raise Your Tankard

Verse 1

Rain at the shutters and embers burn low

Money is gone but the barrel still flows

Strangers from kingdoms we can't even name

Sit by the fire and join in the game

Chorus

So raise up your tankard and drink with me now

For ale is the coin and the king here allows

We sing till the lanterns all flicker and fade

A toast to the road and the friends that we've made

Verse 2

Fiddle it dances and lute keeps the beat

Drum on the table marks every retreat

Stories get richer the further we go

Nobody's counting the names that we know

Chorus

So raise up your tankard and drink with me now

For ale is the coin and the king here allows

We sing till the lanterns all flicker and fade

A toast to the road and the friends that we've made

Bridge

The bard tells his verses of mountains and steel

Every man listening knows how they feel

Tomorrow we wander but that's down the line

Tonight we are brothers in candlelight wine

Chorus

So raise up your tankard and drink with me now

For ale is the coin and the king here allows

We sing till the lanterns all flicker and fade

A toast to the road and the friends that we've made
