Carol and Clif met through their love of music in general and filk music in particular.

You'll see musical references in many of their stories from the medieval Bard in the Bard & Sigurd stories to Garen the Gousan in Unintended Consequences to the future MEW in the Mechville novels.

Away...

Em                      Am
But the real world is a harder world.
Em                Am
The real world is cold.
Em                      Am
The real world will destroy your dreams
           Em                     Am
Til you're beaten down and you're old.

Dream all day   Dream away.
All you desire.
Wrapped in a rockets red fire.
The hopes, and the fears and desires.
Trapped by the dreams they inspired.
Dream all day.  Dream your life away.
    
But the real world isn't made of dreams
It's made of flesh and blood.
And castles built on the sands of dreams
Will tumble into the mud.
    
(chorus)
    
Dream all day.  Dream away.
Enchanted blade at your side.
To battle and glory you ride.
Giving honor to all that is right.
No thought to the men you must fight.
Dream all day.  Dream your life away.
    
But the real world isn't black and white.
It's made in shades of gray.
We stumble down on a shadow path
And we blindly feel for the way.
    
(chorus)
