about

One of my first SCA events was Buckston-on-Eno's Boat Wars held at Umstead State Park near Raleigh, NC. I had stepped out of the cabin where the bardic circle was happening to get some fresh air. While wandering through the woods, I had the strangest feeling of being watched. A few days later I penned the lyrics to what became this song. No, Byram, I wasn't tripping on acid.

Fairy Dreams by Brenna Lyons - is a romantic fantasy novel that was inspired by this song. I even get a cameo in the book, a fairy musician named 'Walt'

This is an old recording of the song. A newer, much cooler, version appears on my album 'Holding On'

lyrics

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?
