That has ended me here
Tired, broken and wearing rags
Wild eyed with fear
There's so much more to this vagabond
Than the eye can see
You can see me through different eyes
Make a princess of meDoor to door with a heavy heart
Try to stave off the cold
In the distance a gypsy cart
Filled with thieves and rogues
(Chorus)Sing for supper and sing for pence
A song's all I have to give
With a fiddle and with no rest
Singing only to live
(Chorus)Through the window a golden glow
Families gather round
Here outside it starts to snow
Silence the only sound
I've been here for a million years
trough the joy, through the tears
but when I'm gone this will go on
and the circle starts again.
I've watched the mountains rise from dust
Saw the gold return to rust,
I had cried when the oceans died,
and the circle starts again.
I was here when the world began to turn
Kissed the sun as it started to burn,
The whispering at the reckoning
said: "The Circle starts again"
The moon was rising from above
I caught her eye and thought it was love,
but she turned her back,
the sky went black,
and the circle starts again..
I dance through castles made of stone
Walked the desert sands alone
In the midnight hour, You feel the power
and the circle starts again.
Now question falls to you my friend:
No beginning has no end,
will we ever learn?
with the world still turn?
will the circle start again?
trough the joy, through the tears
but when I'm gone this will go on
and the circle starts again.
I've watched the mountains rise from dust
Saw the gold return to rust,
I had cried when the oceans died,
and the circle starts again.
I was here when the world began to turn
Kissed the sun as it started to burn,
The whispering at the reckoning
said: "The Circle starts again"
The moon was rising from above
I caught her eye and thought it was love,
but she turned her back,
the sky went black,
and the circle starts again..
I dance through castles made of stone
Walked the desert sands alone
In the midnight hour, You feel the power
and the circle starts again.
Now question falls to you my friend:
No beginning has no end,
will we ever learn?
with the world still turn?
will the circle start again?
In and out of a thousand stories
Here I stand somewhere in between
Kings and queens knights and glory
Flash before my eyes unseen
Laughing and loving living for summer
Dancing romancing the moon like a lover
Secrets and mysteries kept undercover
All in the fun of the faireI have entered through the gates
To see the queen in her finery
Playing chess with the king of spades
It's all part of the fantasy
(Chorus)Painted ladies with haunted eyes
Dance for you as they hypnotize
I can feel your heart beat faster
When gypsy becomes your master
I see you but you're not the same
The eye can see what it wants to see
Through the veil anything can change
You can be what you want to be
(Chorus)
Once upon a dark autumn night
I was so very far from sleep
I longed to walk beneath the stars
Into the wood so dark and deep
Neither myth nor faerie tale
Could keep me from the path to the maze
But eyes upon me I could feel
Hidden in the shadows watching always
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper
Something in the madness eased my mind
Was I awake or was I dreaming
Cut the strings that bind me to mankindOnce while I was sitting in my room
One cold and silver winter's day
I could hear an otherworldly call
Try as I might I couldn't turn away
(Chorus)Somewhere in between the moss and the stone
The wind and the wood became my home
I lay myself upon the green
When the ivy overgrew I could never leave
I was so very far from sleep
I longed to walk beneath the stars
Into the wood so dark and deep
Neither myth nor faerie tale
Could keep me from the path to the maze
But eyes upon me I could feel
Hidden in the shadows watching always
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper
Something in the madness eased my mind
Was I awake or was I dreaming
Cut the strings that bind me to mankindOnce while I was sitting in my room
One cold and silver winter's day
I could hear an otherworldly call
Try as I might I couldn't turn away
(Chorus)Somewhere in between the moss and the stone
The wind and the wood became my home
I lay myself upon the green
When the ivy overgrew I could never leave
Merrily we sailed along
Though the waves were plenty strong
Down the twisting river Rhine
Following a song...
Legend's faded storyline
Tried to warn us all
Oh, they called her "Loreley"
Careful or you'll fall...
Oh, the stories we were told
Quite a vision to behold
Mysteries of the seas in her eyes of gold...
Laying on the silver stone, such a lonely sight
Barnacles become a throne, my poor Loreley...
And the winds would cry, and many men would die
And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...x2You would not believe your eyes, how a voice could hypnotize
Promises are only lies from Loreley
In a shade of mossy green, seashell in her hand
She was born the river queen, ne'er to grace the land...
(Chorus X2)Oh, the song of Loreley
Charms the moon right from the sky...
She will get inside your mind, loveley Loreley...
When she cries "Be with me until the end of time"
You know you will never be with your Loreley...
(Chorus X4)
Though the waves were plenty strong
Down the twisting river Rhine
Following a song...
Legend's faded storyline
Tried to warn us all
Oh, they called her "Loreley"
Careful or you'll fall...
Oh, the stories we were told
Quite a vision to behold
Mysteries of the seas in her eyes of gold...
Laying on the silver stone, such a lonely sight
Barnacles become a throne, my poor Loreley...
And the winds would cry, and many men would die
And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...x2You would not believe your eyes, how a voice could hypnotize
Promises are only lies from Loreley
In a shade of mossy green, seashell in her hand
She was born the river queen, ne'er to grace the land...
(Chorus X2)Oh, the song of Loreley
Charms the moon right from the sky...
She will get inside your mind, loveley Loreley...
When she cries "Be with me until the end of time"
You know you will never be with your Loreley...
