### The Innkeeper's Lullaby-A Song about Putnam Pitch

**Verse 1:**

*The Griffin walked into the forest tavern,*

*His witcher's tiredness heavy on his back*

*He came upon a mysterious place,*

*Where he found a smile as bright as a new day's dawn*

**Chorus:**

*Innkeeper, Innkeeper*

*With a heart full of fire*

*She took The Griffin in her arms*

*And helped him escape his tire*

*Did she cure his heart's desire?*

Verse 2:

*They laughed and they loved*

*In the warmth of the inn*

*But The Griffin's past still haunted him*

*And the pain still lingered within*

**Chorus:**

*Innkeeper, Innkeeper*

*With a heart full of fire*

*She took The Griffin in her arms*

*And helped him escape his tire*

**Verse 3:**

*But then the explorer came to town*

*With plans of an expedition*

*The Griffin knew he had to leave*

*And the innkeeper couldn't stop his decision*

**Chorus:**

*Innkeeper, Innkeeper*

*With a heart full of fire*

*She let The Griffin go*

*And watched him leave for the unknown*

**Outro:**

*The innkeeper's heart was broken*

*But she knew The Griffin had to go*

*She'll keep on running her inn*

*And wait for the day he'll come back home*
