about

My friend Vince Conaway (dulcimer player and musician extraordinaire) was visiting and I got him to lay down some sweet dulcimer tracks to really rock up this old number of mine.

I originally wrote this back in 1990, after stepping away from a bardic circle to get some air and walk in the woods. I had the feeling I was being watched and imagined something like this.

lyrics

Walk through the night, trees closing all around
Stop and listen to the air
Tiny voices, light, footsteps behind you now
Someone or something must be there
So you turn around and see the fairy folk
Dancing and laughing in the wood
Try to join right in, but they just disappear
Are they watching? Will they come again?

Moon behind the clouds, you stumble off the trail
Dig your way out through the briars
Strange unearthly sounds, just might have heard this tale
One night while resting by the fire
Now sing along and step into the fairy ring
And hear their merry elfin sounds
Try to jump right in. They vanish in thin air.
Are they watching? Will they come again?

Dawn is creeping near, lying in the morning dew
You waken from your long night's dream
Start at packing gear, must have been last night's stew
Just too much drink or so it seems
You look up in the trees and see their smiling eyes
Their golden brightness fills the sky
Try to fly with them, but they all float away
Are they watching? Will they come again?

Even though I've heard the story behind the music, there's always been something just a bit haunting and sad about this song. It's been one of my favorites since the first time I heard it. fenrirchick
