Fairy-fire

You were a child so long ago
You've walked so far through drifting snow
The winter winds are blowing cold
But I never want to see you old

Turn away from the cold light of day
Though all the world wants you to stay

Fly my love into the Fairy-fire
Back into the dreams of your desire
Fly my love into the Fairy-fire
Back into the dreams of your desire

I saw you falter at the door
You sat you down upon the floor
A tear dropped upon your cheek
And I knew you couldn't speak

Turn away from the cold light of day
Though all the world wants you to stay

Fly my love into the Fairy-fire
Back into the dreams of your desire
Fly my love into the Fairy-fire
Back into the dreams of your desire

Solo

The teachers want you old and wise
The lonely one who never cries
You’re mom and dad want you to grow
But in your secret heart you know

Turn away from the cold light of day
Though all the world wants you to stay

Fly my love into the Fairy-fire
Back into the dreams of your desire
Fly my love into the Fairy-fire
Back into the dreams of your desire
