| Woodland Wedding Travel with me to the land of dreams Where rivers of magick paint rainbow scenes And dancing on air, our spirit takes flight Off to a forest on this special night Into a clearing, so bright and so gay Lit up by lanterns of firefly display A fairie king waits for his lover so true Surrounded by courtiers all dressed in blue And as you look round more fairies you see Flitting through branches in nearby trees Small shining faces, hearts filled with pride Patiently waiting for their fairie kings bride |
| Tension builds up as the nightingails trill And fairie muscians add more to the thrill Just when you think you can't take anymore The air splits asunder with tremendous furore A fairie up high, in the tallest tall tree Announces the arrival~of the wedding party! Fanfares now sound like triumphant hornes For a carriage that's pulled by unicorns Sitting in comfort inside her glass coach Is a beautiful fairie beyond reproach While bluebells are chiming and harebells sing The carriage draws close and halts by the king A ladybird footman now opens the door And his bride sets foot on the soft mossy floor Her ladies in waiting now come to her aid To fulfill the promise they long ago made Smiling she turns to her champion so true And they pledge their troth as young lovers do A kingdom enjoys the wedding banquet Around mushroom tables so neatley set A feast of honey and blackberry wine Strawberries and grapes plucked fresh from the vine Blessed with wisdom by an old fairie earl The forest rang out with the word~~Tulipearl! The fairie muscian play liquid tunes They splash and tinkle their way to the moon The feasting all over, time now to dance To celebrate life, see how they all prance The king leads his queen, while the courtiers sing Charms of good fortune and all that they bring While fairies whirl round this beautiful sight Laughing and singing, on through the night. With heads full of wine and joy in their hearts The king and queen now turn to depart Well~wishers cheer as the coach pulls away Together they'll stand to face a new day The firefly lanterns go out one by one Replaced by the light of a golden new dawn Small tired bodies with eyes full of sleep Gently flit home with secrets to keep And while they slumber in their tiny beds Dreams of the wedding now fill their heads And like the fairies, our time has come For us to go too and return back home We traveled in spirit to the land of my dreams Where rivers of music paint rainbow scenes And when we awake the message unfurls There's no greater feeling than...Tulipearl! ~~Wm. Tony Crowthers~~ |
