Dance of the Wild Faeries - Gary Stadler/Wendy Rule.mp3

[00:33.000]I wandered alone to the forest one night
[00:36.000]Led by a music strange to hear
[00:39.000]And followed the glow of a shimmering light
[00:42.000]That seemed to grow distant as I grew near
[00:47.000]The woods were alive with the fragrance of spring
[00:51.000]But winter was everywhere clear to see
[00:54.000]The moon shone bright and a bat on the wing
[00:57.000]Beckoned me closer and said to me:
[01:4.000]"A clearing close in the forest you'll find “
[01:7.000]A fabulous banquet, a fairy ball
[01:10.000]If you close your eyes and you open your mind
[01:13.000]The veil disappears and you'll see it all"
[01:18.000]Come and play as the wild fairies play
[01:21.000]In a magical circle, a fairy ring
[01:24.000]You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
[01:27.000]Where the vision is bright as spring
[01:30.000]Come and dance the wild fairy dance
[01:33.000]Spin in a circle as fast as light
[01:36.000]Once you begin you are caught in a trance
[01:39.000]And the world can grow old in a single night
[01:46.000]When I closed my eyes to the shimmering light
[01:49.000]All memory faded and I could see
[01:52.000]That a mushroom circle of red and white
[01:55.000]And myriad fairies surrounded me
[02:16.000]Beyond all space and beyond all time
[02:20.000]On gossamer wings did the fairies fly
[02:22.500]With a joy unknown to a music sublime
[02:25.500]The fairies danced, and there danced I
[02:32.000]Come and play as the wild fairies play
[02:33.500]In a magical circle, a fairy ring
[02:38.000]You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
[02:40.000]Where the vision is bright as spring
[02:44.000]Come and dance the wild fairy dance
[02:47.000]Spin in a circle as fast as light
[02:50.000]Once you begin you are caught in a trance
[02:53.000]And the world can grow old in a single night
[02:59.000]"Those who seek us surely find us “
[03:2.000]See the trail we leave behind us
[03:5.000]Some bewildered, some enlightened
[03:8.000]Some are brave, some are frightened
[03:12.000]Are we kind or are we vicious?
[03:15.000]Nectar poison or delicious?
[03:17.000]That, my sweet, you will discover
[03:20.000]Fairy foe, or fairy lover"
[03:27.000]Come and play as the wild fairies play
[03:30.000]In a magical circle, a fairy ring
[03:33.000]You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
[03:35.000]Where the vision is bright as spring
[03:38.500]Come and dance the wild fairy dance
[03:41.000]Spin in a circle as fast as light
[03:44.000]Once you begin you are caught in a trance
[03:46.500]And the world can grow old in a single night
[03:52.000]I wandered alone to the forest one night
[03:55.000]Led by a music strange to hear
[03:58.000]If you happen to pass when the moon is bright
[04:01.000]And the veils are thin you will find me here
[04:06.000]If the veils are thin you will find me here
