I wandered alone to the forest one night 
Led by a music strange to hear 
And followed the glow of a shimmering light 
That seemed to grow distant as I grew near 
The woods were alive with the fragrance of spring 
But winter was everywhere clear to see 
The moon shone bright and a bat on the wing 
Beckoned me closer and said to me:
"A clearing close in the forest you'll find 
A fabulous banquet, a fairy ball 
If you close your eyes and you open your mind 
The veil disappears and you'll see it all"
Come and play as the wild fairies play 
In a magical circle, a fairy ring 
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay 
Where the vision is bright as spring 
Come and dance the wild fairy dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night
When I closed my eyes to the shimmering light 
All memory faded and I could see 
That a mushroom circle of red and white 
And myriad fairies surrounded me 
Beyond all space and beyond all time 
On gossamer wings did the fairies fly 
With a joy unknown to a music sublime 
The fairies danced, and there danced I 
Come and play as the wild fairies play 
In a magical circle, a fairy ring 
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay 
Where the vision is bright as spring 
Come and dance the wild fairy dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night
"Those who seek us surely find us 
See the trail we leave behind us 
Some bewildered, some enlightened 
Some are brave, some are frightened
Are we kind or are we vicious? 
Nectar poison or delicious? 
That, my sweet, you will discover 
Fairy foe, or fairy lover"
Come and play as the wild fairies play 
In a magical circle, a fairy ring 
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay 
Where the vision is bright as spring 
Come and dance the wild fairy dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night
I wandered alone to the forest one night 
Led by a music strange and clear 
If you happen to pass when the moon is bright 
And the veils are thin you will find me here 
If the veils are thin you will find me here
