Original by Gordon Lightfoot here
(I actually prefer the Ian and Sylvia cover)
Supposedly written by Argrath after one of the many times he pissed off Lagertha and she flew away...
In Sweet Heler's morning rain
with a lunar in my hand
With an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm far from my Boldhome
And I miss her red hair so
In Sweet Heler's mornin' rain
With no place to go
Out on barren desert tracks
Her white Snow mount set to go
Well I'm stuck here on the sand
Where no plant nor tree will grow
Now the hazia felt so good
And the women all were fast
There she goes my friend
She'll be trotting down at last
Hear the mighty hoof beats roar
See the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound
Far 'bove Orlanth's clouds she'll fly
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
And fair golden Elmal shines
She'll be flying over my home
In about three hours time
This Old Pavis got me down
It's no earthly good to me
When I'm stuck here on the ground
As cold and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a hippogriff
Like you can a pirate ship
So I best be on my way
In Sweet Heler's mornin' rain
You can't jump a hippogriff
Like you can a pirate ship
So I best be on my way
In Sweet Heler's mornin' rain
