Skirmish: my nights with ___ (@fairplay)

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

This needs lots of work, but it was started late, and ended late, so for now it is what it is.

Lyrics

I'd barely closed my eyes to dream
My head just touched my pillow,
When I felt a tug upon my sleeve
By a most magical fellow.

He bade me rise and follow him
Far into the night,
To join the Summer Solstice dance
With creatures stark and bright.

We landed 'mid the Seelie Court
I counted myself lucky
Surrounded by so many fae
Ethereal or ruddy.

There were Nymphs and Sprites
And elegant elves clad in leaves and light,
Pixies in their birthday suits
Creating quite a sight.

Fireflies lit the faerie ring,
Crickets played their tune,
I never wanted to leave again
But, the dance ended too soon.

Now every time I lie down to rest
I long for another stay,
Another night 'mong the faerie folk,
To dance again with the Fae.

Absolutely charming, and has a lovely flow to it. I'm a fan of the faerie folk, and love the lore.

You know my penchant for this sort of stuff, tho' I'm badly out of shape (hippos might be better dreaming for me). I'd like to try this but I'm running out of time...

A lovely little fantasy. Never sure why faeries always wake people up to go dancing. I have more energy earlier on. 😁

Fun take on the prompt. Fantastic poetic flow, I enjoyed the story too.

What delightful storytelling! I love the magical quality and vivid images. A wonderfully creative take on the prompt!

Beautiful fairy tale lyrics, lovely to read.

@val 1d

So enchanting! I love your picturesque lyrics. Great theme!

...great that you took the jump and dared to start late - a lot of images in the lyrics and i am not sure if they are scary or nice - perhaps the music/melody will tell me later - the big image reminds me of 'Walpurgis-Nacht' (Germany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walpurgis_Night ) where witches are dancing all night around a fire (even nowadays) - well done...
