A/N: I don't own Pern, or Sunrise, Sunset. This is the Pern adaptation of Sunrise, Sunset, from Motel and Tzeitel's wedding in the Fiddler on the Roof. Any feedback on this song would be greatly appreciated.
For Luc16.
Is this the Weyrling I carried?
Is this the dragonling at play?
I don't remember growing older.
When did they?
When did she Impress her dragon?
When did he grow to be this tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
Red Star, Threadfall.
Red Star, Threadfall.
Swiftly flow the Falls.
Weyrlings turn overnight to Wingleaders,
Flaming even as we gaze.
Red Star, Threadfall.
Red Star, Threadfall.
Swiftly fly the Weyrs.
One Threadfall following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.
Now is the little boy a Wingleader,
Now is the little Weyrling a Queen,
Flaming the Threadfall, I see them
side by side,
Place the Queen in a mating flight,
Don't let her gorge in a Pass,
Soon the full circle will have come to pass.
Red Star, Threadfall.
Red Star, Threadfall.
Swiftly flow the Falls.
Weyrlings turn overnight to Wingleaders,
Flaming even as we gaze.
Red Star, Threadfall.
Red Star, Threadfall.
Swiftly fly the Weyrs.
One Threadfall following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
Now, they must learn from one another,
Day by day.
They look so natural together,
Just like two Weyrmates should be.
Is there a Weyrmate in store for me?
Red Star, Threadfall.
Red Star, Threadfall.
Swiftly flow the Falls.
Weyrlings turn overnight to Wingleaders,
Flaming even as we gaze.
Red Star, Threadfall.
Red Star, Threadfall.
Swiftly fly the Weyrs.
One Threadfall following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.
