Em
D
The twilight rolled over the hill on the Tor
C
B7
Em
The horizon was violet and grey
C
B7
Em
Then the Moon rose the Wolf howled his plea
Em
D
So She lighted afoot on the forested path
C
B7
Em
And the creatures they followed Her lead
C
B7
Em
To the dangerous home of the Sidhe
C
E
The silvery sky illumined Her gold hair
C
D
Em
As She made her ascent on the hill
C
E
She gathered her courage & made Her way still
C
D
Em
To the magickal Sycamore Tree
Em
D
She lay down her treasures and gifts to the Fey
C
B7 Em
And She sang of Her heart to the sky
C
B7
Em
"If the dawn comes come searching for me"
Em
D
& the drums began pounding their sensuous tune
C
B7
Em
And Her soul danced with pain and with glee
C
B7
Em
And She danced round the Sycamore Tree
C
E
The Coyotes laughed at the sparkling sky
C D
Em
All the colors of life shimmered by
C
E
Then the earth underfoot started rumbling nigh
C
D
Em
And it opened before earthly eyes,
Em C
D Em
Oo..
Em
D
O she moved thru the shadows into the deep hill
C
D
Em
And She saw the most wondrous things
C
B7
Em
And they whispered, "Come dancing with we"
Em
D
She felt gentle fingers run through Her soft hair
C
D
Em
And the kisses that covered Her skin
C
D
Em
In the next breath She noticed He
C
E
His eyes shone like crystals of blue from the sea
C
D
Em
On velvet the raven haired Bel
C
E
He said, "I have known you for millions of years"
C
D
Em
And He took her and he cast His grand spell
Em C
D Em
Oo..
Em
D
The sky disappeared & the moonlight was gone
C
D
Em
And the universe had no more time
C
B7
Em
And They danced in the Land of the Sidhe
Em
D
Then the dawn came the sun rose & shone on the Tor
C
D
Em
All alone on a hill stood the Tree
C
B7 Em
And she whispered, "Don't worry for me."
C
E
In a place without time under different sky
C
D Em
They dwell in a palace of gold
C
E
Singing music that mortals could never behold
C D
Em
and require no wings to fly
C
E
And a century passed in the blink of a day
C
D
Em
And her village was ruined and burned
C
E
Her loved ones were gone & she never returned...
C
D
Em
From the Land of the King and Queen of Fey
C
D
Em
Oo, from the Land of the King and Queen of Fey
