When dawn drifts into charmed meadows
enchantment fades with the shadows,
drinking perfume from the night's air,
stirring fragrance that lingers there.
Faintest mist sprinkles wild grasses,
when dawn drifts into charmed meadows.
Sewn jewels on satin sashes
of Sylphs dancing with Tylwyth Teg.
Fae play elaborate charades
before meadow enchantment fades.
When dawn drifts into charmed meadows,
Brownies comfort mourning Banshees.
Asrai frolic with the Selkies
as darkness fades into bleached sun.
Magic leaves as it had begun
when dawn drifts into charmed meadows.

If once you ever loved me, let me know.
For pipe dreams in the sky do fade away.
Before I leave your life, please tell me so.
Though past mistakes we made have brought us woe,
the hope that once we shared is here to stay.
If once you ever loved me, let me know.
Years on straddle fences take its toll.
Too deep for wounded hearts to ever say.
Before I leave your life, please tell me so.
I miss the crisp moonlight romantic stroll,
and stolen passion moments of the day.
If once you ever loved me, let me know.
Your eyes, your smile, your kiss that makes me glow.
Are now too high a price for me to pay
I hate to leave your life, I love you so.
I cry deep tears of sorrow as I go,
and pray that we find us again some day.
If once you ever loved me, let me know
before I leave your life, please tell me so.

A crescent moon above my bed,
tales of nova stars born within my head.
Purple laced clouds that tease with ease,
honeysuckle filled dreams on a summer breeze.
A sun that never slumbers nor sleep,
like the passion of our love that burns so deep.
My heart that swells with thoughts of you,
your lips that taste of honey dew,
black pearl diamonds that are you eyes,
twinkle at me, and I melt inside.
That touch you give, that smile that shines,
the dreams we share that are our spine.
Whispering willow trees and deep blue seas,
we are as natural in the visions I see...
we are as natural in the visions I see...
Oh, crescent moon above my bed!

Tylwyth Teg Cader Idris
Sleeping atop a Mountain
Far from Greenwood village
enthralling people of Folly
Under calamity
Thou Doesn’t notice
Thou Do not take notice of
Tylwyth Teg Cader Idris
veiled as Travelers
Believe they’re always here
So pay Heed and forever be benevolently
And Fortuna pursue thee
provide them with Strife
They will show Thee
what adversity
fills our world
Light-Hearted-Ale
Intoxicated trickery
singing blissfully
Awaiting Audience, Wait and see
shown Thy Hospitality
With Bread and Cheese
O' Morgan ap Rhys
Play the Harp so Enchantingly
All Will dance
Until death bestowed
following the Revenging road
Abuse the will
Of The Unseen
Tylwyth Teg Cader Idris
Thy gift made thou so blithe With retribution
Thou Couldn’t see how enchantment
Curses Evil
For In the Night
All Will Disappear
