She Danced the Green Grass Warm
-
I took her in my arms that night, with reckless laughter ringing
She pushed me down and ran ahead; her lungs were filled with singing
-
The air was sweet and then we beat a path beneath the moon
It couldn't last so we ran fast before she woke too soon
-
In the forest we dared and tread, and whispered tones quite low
Under the mist we prod and peeked to find where the fairies go
-
And there at last we found amass, a field of flickering light
Tiny glows that slowly rose, beyond her stretched delight
-
Ah, there my Sarah
For you my Sarah
All my Fortune Spend
-
Ah, there my Sarah
For you my Sarah
I make the stars descend
-
She danced the green grass warm that night, her eyes were shining bright
I left my robe, I took her hand, and we kissed under pale moonlight
-
And from the sky I allowed to fly, little flakes of snowy white
A wondrous spell, I could tell, when her arms then held me tight
-
She laid her head upon my chest; I threaded fingers in her hair
Dawn was approaching much too soon, life was too unfair!
-
Fair cheeks blushed and then I rushed to tell what would seem
The easiest thing for a Goblin King to promise in her dream
-
Ah, there my Sarah
For you my Sarah
I fear my heart will rend
-
Ah, there my Sarah
For you my Sarah
Time will I suspend
-
All clocks stopped and dawn arrested, her fair face then did smile
I bowed before her reverently, Queen Sarah forever and a while
-
Gems unknown, and precious stone, a fancy crown I made
Upon the grass, at last, at last, my queen and I then laid
-
I whispered riddles made from love and we laughed quite ridiculously
We stared and kissed and watched with awe, snow drift down lazily
-
And in the hush, we did not rush; her hand even now still rests in mine
It's only forever, my lovely endeavor, until the end of time
-
Ah, there my Sarah
For you my Sarah
Your title I amend
-
Ah, there my Sarah
For you my Sarah
My love, my queen… and friend
