In the Meadowlands of Home (Songs of Skyrim)

by Carmen Willow

This is a song I wrote based on Jeremy Soule's fantastic music From Past to Present The song is written not from the viewpoint of the adventurer but from the viewpoint of the person who waits at home.

In the Meadow Lands of Home

The sun sinks very low.

The winds are silent.

The darkness deepens now.

It's twilight, my love.

I stand by the roadside,

And search for your silhouette.

Are you in the darkness?

Are you there, alone?

Chorus

Will I see you once again,

In the meadow lands of home?

Will you kiss me once again,

My sweet one, my own?

I lie in the darkness

I wait for you,

I call your name

Are you in the darkness?

Do you do the same?

Our sweet dreams of our future years

That we shared in our day.

Are they now but a memory

Have they all slipped away?

Chorus

Will I see you once again?

In the meadow lands of home?

Will you kiss me once again?

My sweet one, my own.

Dreams come and fill my sleep.

Dreams of reunion.

I wake before the dawn

And long for your kiss.

So, I'll wait by the roadside

Each evening before I rest

I trust in your heart's call

In your sweet soul's caress

Yes, I'll see you once again,

In the meadow lands of home.

Yes, a lover's kiss you'll bring

My sweet one, my own.

Sung to the Tune From Past to Present by Jeremy Soule
