Lyrics Dance of the Wild Faeries - Gary Stadler, Wendy Rule

Dance of the Wild Faeries

I wandered alone to the forest one night
Led by a music strange to hear
And followed the glow of a shimmering light
That seemed to grow distant as I grew near
The woods were alive with the fragrance of spring
But winter was everywhere clear to see
The moon shone bright and a bat on the wing
Beckoned me closer and said to me
A clearing close in the forest you’ll find
A fabulous banquet, a faerie ball
If you close your eyes and you open your mind
The veil disappears and you’ll see it all
Come and play as the wild fairies play
In a magical circle, a faerie ring
You won’t want to leave and forever you’ll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring
Come and dance the wild faerie dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night
When I closed my eyes to the shimmering light
All memory faded and I could see
That a mushroom circle of red and white
And myriad faeries surrounded me
Beyond all space and beyond all time
On gossamer wings did the faeries fly
With a joy unknown to a music sublime
The faeries danced, and there danced I
Come and play as the wild faeries play
In a magical circle, a faerie ring
You won’t want to leave and forever you’ll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring
Come and dance the wild faerie dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night
Those who seek us surely find us
See the trail we leave behind us
Some bewildered, some enlightened
Some are brave, some are frightened
Are we kind or are we vicious?
Nectar poison or delicious?
That, my sweet, you will discover
Faerie foe, or faerie lover
Come and play as the wild faeries play
In a magical circle, a fairy ring
You won’t want to leave and forever you’ll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring
Come and dance the wild faerie dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night
I wandered alone to the forest one night
Led by a music strange and clear
If you happen to pass when the moon is bright
And the veils are thin you will find me here
If the veils are thin you will find me here
