Heather Alexander - King Of Elfland's Daughter

Music: King Of Elfland's Daughter
Artist: Heather Alexander
Art: Good Goddess Shaiya
Lyrics:
Who are you, he said,
to the woman before his eyes
I did not see you coming,
and so I'm quite surprised
To find that I can see the sky,
looking through your eyes

I cam across the void, said she,
Yes, I'm a stranger here
And I have need this moment,
to whisper in your ear
A favour I would ask of thee,
and so will you draw near?

She breathed herself like whiskey
into his waiting brain,
All in amaze he turned and asked
the lady of her name,
You know me from your waking dreams
of when you were a boy,
I am the king of Elfland's Daughter.

Now friend, will you drop everything
and come away with me,
Along the rocky cliffs so high
and then across the sea
Come and join our faerie band
in our dance among the trees

I will, he said, and took her hand
and so they journeyed far,
And called a dance together
between the daylight and the dark,
And if you should go seeking them
you'll find them dancing still




She breathed herself like whiskey
into his waiting heart,
And in the end it mattered not
they came from worlds apart,
He a mortal man and she
quite something else again,
She was the King of Elfland's Daughter.

Thank you ^,^

[Phantomsbreath]

To add to the "Go or not to go" debate, I'd go. For two reasons. I've got nothing holding me here, and I've got an overactive sense of "If it's not mortal, and it says go with it, you go with it."

@scatterbunny35 Rejected rejected and again rejected. Immortal life would be outright terrible, everyone you love would fade before your eyes and you would grow weary of the world. And I want to be as free as I can, regardless of what or who is offering me to live forever.

can anyone name the song with the lyrics; earth and fire wind and water dew of morning miles of may

[GeneralBly01]

the beginning is the best

[CodyMThomas]

I love hearing the stuff that is out of production now,since i never got to hear it or purchase it while it was still readily available. I adore all of Heather and Alex's music and wish I could have all of it.

love this song sooo much, but cant help feel it sounds like Turn the Page by bob segal lol

[GrigoriZhukov]

as long as there is a road...to travel. Yes, destinations matter not, it's the road that matters. Immortality? Nice concept

[Shadowbane509]

@Luxai Personally, I'd go with a dragon :). That is, my version of dragons. (read: epic elemental hunters that don't eat sentients) (do not read: pyromaniatic killers that eat people for snacks and torture cute animals on their off time) (also do not read: CHIBI LIZARDS SQEEEE)

3;00 was pro part.

[Luxai]

@scatterbunny35 That's alright, I always encourage a good question and try to give a good answear.

[scatterbunny35]

@Luxai I don't disagree with you, just wanted to see if you only thought that way shallowly or not. As evidenced by your expanded and deeper explanation for your statement, you are not. I hope you didn't take offense at my prior question, but I wanted to know why you would say that.

After Twilight, I think everyone (minus the population of ditzy brainless girls) has been put off of immortality.
