History
Lyrics
Once upon a midnight dark and dreary Seeking shelter from a storm We each were drawn to flick’ring firelight eerie Hoping its flames would keep us warm When dawn awoke and spread the day before us We gave thanks for what we found Our separate songs now joined as one in chorus To bless the newly hallowed ground Our love was shiny like silver And our love spun straw into gold But the love we promised forever Would be hard to have and hold We set off down the winding road together With talk of dragons we would slay We questioned how but never why or whether To seek our fate so far away But mystic pilgrimage can be exhausting And psychic wounds are slow to mend You said our quest was merely windmill-tilting Without a swift or fruitful end Our love was shiny like silver And our love spun straw into gold But the love we promised forever Is no longer brave or bold When we returned from distant exploration To live the life we had postponed I yearned for grace,; you wanted isolation And so you wandered off alone And now the sun is hidden in the shadows I light a flame against the chill My lonely voice is quiet when the wind blows I wonder if you love me still Our love was shiny like silver And our love spun straw into gold But the love we promised forever Has now withered and grown cold
