The Invitation

THE INVITATION I had an invitation to a party The fairy queen invited me It was her party, lucky me I shuddered to be near her skin As silvery as the moon And oh her dress It was as shimmery as the sun The baby fairies, fragile Danced about With their tulip dresses And rose petal hats Blue candles danced in the air Swaying to and fro In the clear night I was happy quite Then the fragile babies Wanted a dance I couldn’t say no We danced and danced Then the queen took over And danced me to the cliff We stood there dancing The whole kingdom danced towards us There was no more room I feared we’ll fall But they didn’t care They knew that and they wanted that Their queen was dying She needed a companion to the other world She chose me I was in a trance I had no choice now I had to go They danced towards us two The queen and I And down we went Queen and I Making history for the generations.
