THREE STEPS INTO DARKNESS

Moonlight over fairy mound

She walks within a white witch gown

Picking sticks for fairy queens

A dream within a dream

And I with my staff of wood

I wish to move, I wish I could

But frozen like a picture, a silent pantomime

And she says:

“I want to go

 I want to leave without anything

 I’m feeling low

 Three steps into darkness and I feel a little nervous”

Moonlight over lonely place

Seals my soul in a thin wool cape

Tonight she will want me, yet turns her face away

Kneeling in the soft green grass

I wish to move, I can not last

This moment that I’ve dreamt of now just fades away

And she says:

“I want to go

 I want to leave without anything

 I’m feeling low

 Three steps into darkness and I feel a little nervous”

How do you weigh the treasure of romance?

Like the pixie skies

Under sea to sea, castles and kingdoms beyond

Showers of light and rain upon the fields

I wish I could, I wish I could

And she says…
