'Twas a longing came into my heart, I could not sense the name
It tore me from my sheltered hearth, and swift to nature came
The beauty of the soft green hills, the singing of the trees
They left my soul more empty still, I could not find a peace,
I could not find a peace...
I saw the shining Fairy Ring
myself within it's Heart
And I found a lonely comfort,
Though its magic touched me not.....
Its magic touched me not.....
I wandered by a running stream, and touched its stones for strength
Then I settled 'neath a great oak tree, and drifted into sleep
It lifted me with gentle boughs, and took me far away
When I awoke, the darkest night had chased away the day
I lay within the Fairy Ring
myself within it's Heart
And I found a lonely comfort, yet
The magic touched me not.....
The magic touched me not.....
My mind a whirl of clouded dreams, I knew not where I dwelt
Yet in that shining Fairy Ring, a calming warmth I felt
Oh thrice I called unto the Fey, and thrice about was turned
I fell upon the living earth, and in that moment learned
For there that night I felt a touch, and in that moment knew
The Fairy magic had revealed my hearts desire true....
For in that touch I felt such love, and in that moment knew
that I did touch a perfect love
my hearts desire true
...my hearts desire true
I lay within the Fairy Ring
Myself within it's Heart
And I found a lonely comfort, yet
The love that I had sought
My words and wants are stilled within
My heart has filled so much
