If I Had a Sovereign

If I had a sovereign for all the times I have cried,
Oh - here's one!
If I had a sovereign for all the times I have died,
Oh - here's another one!
If I had a sovereign for the friends I have lost,
Oh - this is getting heavy now!
If I had a sovereign for all the rot turned to compost,
Oh - it's as if you know!

If I had a sovereign for every word I have said,
Every blade I have tread,
Every sunset seen,
Every quiet whisper has been,

If I had a sovereign -
Oh, here's another.
They're just
not lucky
any more.

Penned by my hand on the 14th of Aeguary, in the year 949 AF.
