I REMEMBER MY
DREAMS OF THE FAIRY‑TALE LANDS,
WHERE TO LOVE AND RESPECT WERE THE GREATEST COMMMANDS.
I REMEMBER BRAVE
KNIGHTS PROUDLY ARMORED SO BOLD,
AND THE STANDARDS THEY CARRIED IN BATTLES OF OLD.
I REMEMBER THE
QUESTS AND THE CAUSES THAT WON,
ALL THE SEARCHING FOR GLORY EACH DAY IN THE SUN;
AND AT NIGHTFALL 'ROUND CAMPFIRES WOULD GATHER SMALL BANDS,
TO TALK OF THE LIFE IN THOSE FAIRY-TALE LANDS.
I REMEMBER MY
DREAMS OF THE FAIRY‑TALE LANDS
ALL THE RICHES AND HONOR I COULD HOLD IN MY HANDS.
I REMEMBER DEAR
FRIENDS, ALWAYS FAITHFUL TO ME,
AND THE HOPE IN THE EYES OF THOSE ‘SLAVED WHEN SET FREE.
I REMEMBER FAR
JOURNEYS ON STALLIONS SO STRONG,
ALL THE TRIALS AND TRIUMPH WOULD LAST THE DAY LONG;
ON RETURNING, MY
LADY WOULD REACH FOR MY HAND,
AND LAY DOWN BESIDE HIM IN THE FAIRY‑TALE LANDS.
GOLDEN CITIES,
SO IT SEEMS,
OFFER YOUNG HEARTS GOLDEN DREAMS.
DREAMS OF WEALTH AND DREAMS OF POWER,
DREAMS OF LOVE AND EVERY HOUR...
WELL, I GREW
FROM THE YOUNG MAN WHO DREAMED IN THOSE WAYS,
INTO AN OLD MAN WITH SAD EYES THESE DAYS.
IF YOU WATCH, VERY CLOSELY, THESE OLD TREMBLING HANDS,
YOU'LL SEE THEM STILL REACHING FOR THE FAIRY‑TALE LANDS.
IF YOU WATCH,
VERY CLOSELY, THESE OLD TREMBLING HANDS,
YOU'LL SEE THEM STILL REACHING FOR THE FAIRY‑TALE LANDS.
