Dance in the Circle Words and music by Heather Alexander © 1997Out in the wood, there's a band of small Faeries If you walk unwary at night They're laughing and drinking, and soon you'll be thinking That you'd come to join in their light If they see you, you know they'll entreat you To come and join in their small friendly dance If you do then your soul will go too You will lose it with no second chance Chorus: So please come, join, dance in the circle The voices will make your heart yearn To please come, join, dance in the circle But know that you'll never return. They'll promise you gold and silver a-plenty You'll never be empty of love Beauty and pleasure, and time at your leisure All things that you've been dreaming of. Success will be yours, through several doors What ever you wish, you will find you can do Beware of this prize, as a curse in disguise Since your mortal life soon will be through. Chorus: So please come, join, dance in the circle The voices will make your heart yearn To please come, join, dance in the circle But know that you'll never return. BRIDGE: There is a way, as some folk would say To save you 'til the dawn Denounce their kind, from your mind Then you'll find they are gone Children's tales, pirate sails Unicorns, dragons, sorcerers too They're man conceived, make believe You know that they aren't true And now I must tell, that I'm under their spell Though I know not for how long I've been And I love a man, though I know that I can Never ever go see him again I went to the king, in his wise faerie-ring I asked him, "Oh what do you think I should do?" He said, "You'll be fine!", took a large swill of wine And said, "Why don'cha have him join you?" So please come, join, dance in my circle The voices will make your heart yearn To please come, join, dance in my circle But know that you'll never return. So please come, join, dance in the circle The voices will make your heart yearn To please come, join, dance in the circle But know that you'll never return.
