Harburg's Castle

[Drums and Guitar solo intro] [Verse 1] In the shadow of Harburg’s ancient walls, Where the market was set to rise, The rain poured down in heavy thralls, From the darkened, stormy skies. [Chorus] Oh, the river swelled and overflowed, The market stalls were drowned, But in the tavern, warm and bold, A new tale was found. [Verse 2] The merchants packed their wares away, The knights sheathed their swords, The minstrels ceased their merry play, As rain fell in torrents and hoards. [Chorus] Oh, the river swelled and overflowed, The market stalls were drowned, But in the tavern, warm and bold, A new tale was found. [Bridge] With mead and beer, they gathered near, By the hearth’s glowing light, They sang and danced, and cast off fear, Through the long and stormy night. [Instrumental] [Verse 3] The fire roared, the laughter soared, As stories old were spun, Of heroes brave and battles scored, Till the rising of the sun. [Chorus] Oh, the river swelled and overflowed, The market stalls were drowned, But in the tavern, warm and bold, A new tale was found. [Outro] Now by the campfire’s flickering flame, This epic tale is told, Of Harburg’s rain and the tavern’s fame, Where hearts were brave and bold.
