A band of merry travelers When I was but a child Caught me up and headed off Into the forest wild We wandered ‘neath a leafy realm Where never light had shown And straying from a well worn path I found myself alone The night I heard an elven song I'd lost the trail and wandered long But I never lost the memory of The elven melody I found myself alone and lost Where never man had strayed When somewhere just ahead I heard The sweetest serenade Is that a light I see up there A fire burning bright Are elven minstrels singing fair Unto the forest night But as I blundered towards the sound Of voices sad and sweet The light was gone and so the sound Of voices sad and sweet Don't leave me here to pine alone Come back and sing your song And maybe you will tarry here And let me sing along The night I heard an elven song I'd lost the trail and wandered long But I never lost the memory of The elven melody
