Songs:
All the creatures of the night that you never see Gather in the forest around a huge old willow tree In the clearing in the wood Where the rainbow ends When the moon is full There is a magic creatures band And all the elves are dancing around the willow tree Singing "Hi diddle die and diddle de dee Hi diddle die and diddle de dee" - And then they want to dance with me When the sun is going to set And the dark is falling All the creatures of the night Have a place to meet In the clearing in the wood Magic choirs callingv See them in their magic light And all around is peace And all the fairies dance around the willow tree Singing "Hi diddle die and diddle de dee Hi diddle die and diddle de dee" - And then they want to dance with me In the forest very deep Where the rainbow ends Everyone is having fun And all of them are friends Full moon, magic light Take them by their hands Feel the drive and join The magic creatures dance And the witches dance around the willow tree Singing "Hi diddle die and diddle de dee" The spirits of the trees dance around the willow tree Singing "Hi diddle die and diddle de dee" And the leprachauns are dancing around the willow tree Singing "Hi diddle die and diddle de dee" All the dwarfs are dancing around the willow tree Singing "Hi diddle die and diddle de dee" And all the giants dance around the willow tree Singing "Hi diddle die and diddle de dee" And all the elves are dancing around the willow tree Singing "Hi diddle die and diddle de dee Hi diddle die and diddle de dee" - And then they want to dance with me |
Where Lagan stream sings lullaby There grows a fairy fair The twilight gleam is in her eye The night is on her hair And like a love-sick leannan-sidhe She has my heart in thrall Nor life I owe nor liberty For love is lord of all. And often when the beetle's horn Hath lulled the eve to sleep I steal unto her shieling lorn And thru the dooring peep. There on the cricket's singing stone, Beyond my reach she stirs the fire, And hums in sad sweet undertone The songs of heart's desire. If there was one wish she'd grant me I'd show her what I'm dreaming of In her world I would want to be I dare not ask her for her love For she's immortal, I must go, 'Tis leaving Love and light To feel the wind of longing blow From out the dark of night. |
The lady of the river her eyes were green her hair was blue and her skin aquamarine She was wearing pearls and silver on her hands I think she was a mermaid but she could dance. She was a queen and she let her hair float around her shoulders and around my boat Her streamline body sparkling bright whe she moved along the waves in the pale moonlight One day at noon she was singing a song when the lord of the ocean came along He looked like her except that he was male with his watery shine and his fishy tail. And that's the way it is meant to be He fell in love with her and he took her to the sea Never again I have seen them here When the moon would dance on waves I felt she's near Lady of the river dance with me Lady of the river cold and sweet |
It was Indian summer in the city around The air warm and fresh, and full of sounds I just went for a walk in the park downtown There's lake and a bar and some ants on the ground I went down, down, down - down downtown I went down, down, down - down to relax I went down, down, down - down downtown I went down, & found - I was behexed By the lake was an elf between the huge willow trees He was riding a dragonfly to fish in the streams But there was no fish, no thing to be seen & the light of his eyes, it was flickering green His eyes were a-glaze, his face was a maze, & his grief, it was hard to believe He had caught only fear, the water was clear What he said, I could hardly hear He'd been trying to fish for love and faith and respect and hope and a wish for peace and good days, for joy and fun, but those fish had gone, there were none The elf calmly said with a tear in his eye This lake must have been poisoned, it is sure gonna die Looking puzzled, he vanished without saying goodbye & dusk slowly fell with the moon passing by I went down, down, down - down downtown I went down, down, down - to enjoy the light I went down, down, down - & found just night I went down, down, down - down to laze I went down, down, down - & found just haze I went down, down, down - to sit in the sun I went down and found - it wasn't really fun I went down to breathe - late summer air I went down, down, down - & now I feel scared |
Have you seen the light deep in the lake deep in the waters Casting shades around the site to dance with Moonman's daughters By the lake in the shade magic's in the meadow By the light of the night magic's in the shadow Shadow folks in shadow cloaks magic folks forever Shadow world, better world peace and empathy matter. The fairies light the stars and torches made of dragon tallows Casting shades a round the place to send them fiction fellows By the lake in the shade magic's in the meadow By the light of the night magic's in the shadow Shadow folks in shadow cloaks magic folks forever Shadow world, better world peace and insight matter. Have you seen the sorrow in the gleaming eyes of devils When in the fires of the dark reality unravels In the twilight of the flicker midday views are shallow Find a truth behind the trees moods becoming mellow Shadow world, shadow folk shadow world forever |
She was wearing metal earrings and her eyes, they were all ice Icicles were in her hair, her dress was long and white So cool she was, her body and her heart were made of snow Her beauty so deep frozen that it never seemed to go. And she was sparkling, when she danced on ice Sparkling - in the pale winter sunlight Sparkling, through the falling snow sparkling - in the winter moonglow Sparkling - She was his queen, the snow queen of his dream She lived inside a castle, the northwind blowing through with translucent walls in pale light blue Before the ice-flowered windows dark world in white got lost Her wishes of snow crystals, her soul it was all frost. And she was sparkling, when she danced on ice . He decided to go anywhere to find her there Where is was and how he should, he didn't even care His love deep and longing, his heart was all aglow He knew that he would make it, and he wasn't scared of snow. One day he really saw her, so great was his desire he fell in love at once, she set his soul on fire But warmth was not her world, she started melting in the heat And soon became a water pool around his feet. the castle put the fire out as it came on dripping down He felt like screaming and he frowned, but quickly he got drowned And all you see there now is a mighty iceberg on the ground Mysteriously gleaming blue with iceworks all around and it is sparkling in the dance of snow it is sparkling in the winter moonglow sparkling - in the starry nights sparkling - like the queen of ice And she was sparkling, when she danced on ice . |
All kinds of creatures that hide in the light Come in the night, when it is dark they are alive First an idea then they are here born of your mind Manticores, elves, centaurs, and fairies of spite, sylphids, mermen, and unicorns, dragons and sprites Whatever you can imagine may give life to your nights All kinds of creatures that hide in your mind Come in the night, dance in your world in the moonlight First an idea, then they are here they come to life Werewolves and dragonfish, monsters and rocs pegasus and shadowshapes, and phoenixes and toads Whatever you can think of may be part of your ghosts They hide in the gloom, they pretend, they're not real Yet their mystery's there to revealwhat you feel intangible like wind, you can hear what they sing lucid like lyrics, strange visions they bring insatiable like fire, consuming your eve till the witch of the morning tells them to leave Noone knows where they go then, which fortunes they weave before you must arouse them, only you set them free All kinds of creatures, invisible sights Come in the night,, ride on your mind, unfold their might First an idea, then they are here see what you find |
One night a full moon came on shining down A lady rode upon the rays So transparent she stood upon the ground and sparkled like the milky ways and she said: Why don't you believe in me and you don't even know my name? But she was made of haze, I had no chance to see her in that shape again Now I want to find, find out what's behind find, find out more find, find what's behind I want to find a hidden door One day a lilly opened up ist head A fairy sailed along ist smell and iridescent like a summer breeze Out of her eyes an opal dewdrop fell and she breathed: Why don't you believe in me and you don't even know my name? But she was made of scent, I had no chance to see her in that shape again There was a river giggling towards a lake A wizard floated through ist tune So magic hovering above the waves He chanted some eternal June and he mumbled: Why don't you believe in me and you don't even know my name? But he was made of sound, I had no chance to see him in that shape again. |
I know a lady, she got no age She's looking young & old in a way has dinner at midnight, breakfast at noon She can talk with the trees & make love with the moon She'll have time for rest in eternity Nighttime is her time, she doesn't sleep She laughs when she wants, when she's sad she can weep Life is too short to drowse it away & she can always dream in the day She can do magic, you are spellbound her hair can turn red, & then yellow or brown She loves everybody & doesn't ask why she can make things happen, she's living on life She can't explain the thoughts she's led by Some inner voice tells her how to decide & she will not have to justify years full of lies on the day she will die Happiness can make you sleep well at night But she wants trouble to fill her life Gaining experience, she likes her luck rough eternal peace will come early enough For how can you judge what you hadn't lived through emotions that have never been inside you She understands there is more than one mood she never cares about evil or good I know a lady, she needs no age years aren't numbers, aims aren't ways My lady isn't waiting for chance where she got in, she'll get out again She'll have time for rest in eternity |
Oh, Dreamland, you lovely, you wonderful land, you beautiful crown of all the lands and realms And if I ever find I am in the Promised land, I'd try to return to your magic elms It's there I want to live, it's there you never die. It's where the things are made and where new ideas are born It's just the way you want, it is Paradise It's there I want to live, it's there you never die. It is where things are made and where new ideas are born It's just the way you want, it is Paradise Oh Dreamland, you mystical, neverending land You rule what is real, with a subtle force. Your trees and birds and mountains are always there at hand Of peace, hope, and wisdom, you can be the source. Your forests are the deepest, your sun burns hot or mild Your strength is so unfailing, my wishing well, my mead Your spirit rest and longing, it creates new life Your oceans are the deepest, your creatures tame or wild Providing me with power and just everything I need Your time is a river that creates new life |
I went down to the ocean in the late afternoon I sat down by the water which reflected the moon It was black under mist and I couldn't look through Just like ink flowing over the white of my shoes It was always in motion and always alike There was no chance for changes to give light to the night Nothing would happen, and it tortured my mind and while I was waiting I was drowning in time I was watching the water foreboding some fear When I saw a cute little green figure appear His hair was long and blue, and when I looked in his eyes I could see tenthousand stories from a thousand years passing by He was wearing a shirt, made of shells and of weeds and shyly he smiled, that I had to be pleased His large hand reached for mine, and he said: follow me I will show you what people are too blind to see And the merman and I, we then came to a town where the people were dead, but walking around They did not look at us, nor back, nor ahead, and apparently they didn't even feel bad and the merman explained: "Where they are they will stay for they have never learned how to find a new way Some folks don't feel when they drown, it is strange, and in their sunken world they all wait for a change I wanted to waste my time watching the water at the seaside Waiting for changes |
