Видео: Heather Alexander - Fairy Queen

One wintry night a wondrous sight I met while riding back
Returning from a ceili, with me fiddle in me pack
My horse, he stopped quite suddenly, his ears began to twitch
He bucked and threw me pack and all into a nearby ditch

I tried to rise, but then my eyes alighted on a scene
Of faerie creatures dancing by, cavorting `round their Queen
She`d been out hunting, it was plain, delighted by her prize
And though he was in thrall to her, I knew his gentle eyes

I stood again and shouted when they drew abreast of me,
"I challenge you, for you have caught my husband-soon-to-be!"
They stopped and she stared down at me, the Queen astride her steed,
"I see you have the courage, dear, but skill is what you need!"

CHORUS:
Be it carved from out the finest wood
And strung with silver string
Only mortal trust or faerie dust
Can make a fiddle sing!

"We each shall play and I will say which fiddle is played best,
And should you win this mortal toy I`ll free, without protest."
They handed her a violin, as black as she was fey
She placed a bow upon the strings and then began to play

[Faerie Queen`s solo]

My spirit low I raised my bow, I knew not where to start
I looked within my lover`s eyes and then within my heart
My head was filled with mortal dreams, of love beneath the moon
Of sun and rain and season`s change, and so began my tune

[Fiddler Girl`s solo]

I raised my head my arms like lead my heart ablaze once more
The Faerie Queen looked down at me, shaken to the core
"I`ve played for many centuries, yet, by the stars above,
You`ve taught me skill is not enough. It can`t compare to love."

[CHORUS]
