Gary Stadler - Dance of the Wild Faëries lyrics

I wandered alone to the forest one night Led by a music strange to hear And followed the glow of a shimmering light That seemed to grow distant as I grew near The woods were alive with the fragrance of spring But winter was everywhere clear to see The moon shone bright and a bat on the wing Beckoned me closer and said to me: "A clearing close in the forest you'll find A fabulous banquet, a fairy ball If you close your eyes and you open your mind The veil disappears and you'll see it all" Come and play as the wild fairies play In a magical circle, a fairy ring You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay Where the vision is bright as spring Come and dance the wild fairy dance Spin in a circle as fast as light Once you begin you are caught in a trance And the world can grow old in a single night When I closed my eyes to the shimmering light All memory faded and I could see That a mushroom circle of red and white And myriad fairies surrounded me Beyond all space and beyond all time On gossamer wings did the fairies fly With a joy unknown to a music sublime The fairies danced, and there danced I Come and play as the wild fairies play In a magical circle, a fairy ring You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay Where the vision is bright as spring Come and dance the wild fairy dance Spin in a circle as fast as light Once you begin you are caught in a trance And the world can grow old in a single night "Those who seek us surely find us See the trail we leave behind us Some bewildered, some enlightened Some are brave, some are frightened Are we kind or are we vicious? Nectar poison or delicious? That, my sweet, you will discover Fairy foe, or fairy lover" Come and play as the wild fairies play In a magical circle, a fairy ring You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay Where the vision is bright as spring Come and dance the wild fairy dance Spin in a circle as fast as light Once you begin you are caught in a trance And the world can grow old in a single night I wandered alone to the forest one night Led by a music strange and clear If you happen to pa** when the moon is bright And the veils are thin you will find me here If the veils are thin you will find me here
