Sorrow's Song (Child of Dying Stars)

Definitely worth a listen:

Sorrow's Song (Child of Dying Stars) by [livejournal.com profile] s00j.

Based on "Cities of Coin and Spice" by Catherynne Valiente

"...Tell me a tale so beautiful that the stars will strain to hear
The song you fear to end is just beginning
so sing me a city of wishes and fire
sing me a traveling song
I will give you worlds of wonder
and a feather cloak to keep you warm!

(sorrow is a child of dying stars
with no one to tell her her name
red in her cloak as a winter sun
she wanders)..."
