Dance in the circle de Heather Alexander

Out in the wood, there?s a band of small faeries,
if you walk unwary at night-
they?re laughing and drinking, and soon you?ll be thinking,
that you?d come to join in their light-
If they see you, you know they?ll entreat you,
to come and join in their small friendly dance-
if you do then your soul will go too,
you will loose it with no second chance-

so please come, join, dance in the circle,
the voices will make your heart yearn-
to please come, join, dance in the circle,
but know that you?ll never return-
They?ll promise you gold and silver a-plenty,
you?ll never be empty of love-
beauty and pleasure, and time at your leisure,
all things that you?ve been dreaming of-
Success will be yours, through several doors,
what ever you wish, you will find you can do-
beware of this prize, as a curse in disguise,
since your mortal life soon will be through-


there is a way, as some folk would say,
to save you ?til the dawn-
denounce their kind, from your mind,
then you?ll find they are gone-
Children?s tales, pirate sails,
unicorns, dragons, sorcerers too,
they?re man conceived, make believe,
you know that they aren?t true-
And now i must tell, that i?m under their spell,
though i know not for how long i?ve been-
and i love a man, though i know that i can
never ever go see him again-
I went to the king, in his wise faerie-ring,
i asked him, "oh what do you think i should do?"
he said, "you?ll be fine", took a large swill of wine,
and said, "why don?cha have him join you?"
