When I Was a Boy

Once upon a time in a world... You cannot see, was a place for you and me Fields in which to run Enchanted trees to climb... In a land of beautiful sun This was a time... Long ago, far away how I ache... For those days... When a Heartstone, lay in my heart, and I learnt the Wise Ways The sound of lute filled the air Magic too Trees of soft colour, shaded the castle from view So many places to play Enchanted rooms Nooks and crannies Finding a hiding way The changing seasons Beautiful in their nature Queens and Kings The way of things Such joy and harmony, amongst the whispering trees A Stream of Sighs Watching Heartstone eagles fly This was a time... For a young boy, to lie back in a field of corn The King of Air sculpting clouds Watching eagles fly Faeries being born... This was a time... Once upon a time, in a world you once saw Behind a secret door... Is a place for you and me
