My Fairy Love, by Lunaria Subscribe to rss feed for Lunaria

My Fairy Love
As darkness falls
And day turns into night
Shadows play upon my walls
Amid the candle light

I sit before the fire
That flickers merrily
And play upon my lyre
But I play so wearily

Soon I am in slumber
Before the flickering flame
I just cannot cumber
Sleepys' my middle name

While I'm in dreamland deep
I meet my fairy love
She always comes when I sleep
Her wings are like the dove

But ever so fragile
And like a spider's web
Ever so thin and agile
Like the tide does ebb

Her hair is long and flowing
And the color of the sky
Her eyes have a knowing
She never questions why

We fly high above the trees
And over green, green hills
Across the open seas
And over rocks and rills

We settle in the tall, green grass
And hold each other tight
I love her so, my fairy lass
Then she with wings takes flight

Goodbye my fairy love
I'll see you another night
When there's a moon above
Then we will take flight

I awaken in my darkened room
My candle wick burned out
Anxious for day to resume
So night can come about.
