Christopher Lee - The Last Unicorn - They are MINE! lyrics

I know you! I almost knew you as soon as I saw you on the road coming to my door. Since then, there is no movement of yours that has not betrayed you! A pace, a glance, a turn of the head, the flash of your throat as you breathe, even your way of standing perfectly still. They were all my spies! You made me wonder for a little while but your time is done. The tide is turning. Come and see it. Come here. There, there they are. There they are! They are MINE! They belong to ME! The Red Bull gathered them for me one-by-one and I bade him drive each one into the sea! Now, they live there. And every tide carries them within an easy step of the land. But they dare not come out of the water. They are afraid of the Red Bull. I like to watch them. They fill me with joy. The first time I felt it, I thought I was going to die. I said to the Red Bull, 'I must have them! I must have all of them, all there are! For nothing makes me happy but their shining, and their grace.' So, the Red Bull caught them. Each time I see the unicorns -- MY unicorns -- it is like that morning in the woods, and I am truly young, in spite of myself!
