Probably one of the first lyrics I ever wrote, and for sure the first instrumental track I've finished. I put on YouTube the instrumental track to get a harpist's insight. I've noticed a few things I'm gonna change before I record the melody, but still, that's an overview of Fairy Dreams, with music and lyric.
Lyrics
I may have been a fairy,
A
child switched after my birth;
My
mother often called me
The
weakest baby on earth.
Legends
tell that for so long
Fairies
have watched humankind;
So
my dreams bring me along
What
humans have in their mind.
In
the realm of the mundane
I
can see a gardener.
Hoping
for a little rain
The
flowers need some water.
His
garden is all his life
Every
plant and every sprout
A
source of grief for a wife
He
doesn't care much about
Fairy
dreams, not fairy tales
I
see in the distance
Beyond
my own experience
All
the life I share
Everything
is real somewhere
He’s
gazing at the harbour,
At
the sea covered in fog
Still
waiting for his master,
The
disappeared sailor’s dog.
“He
won’t be back tomorrow,”
Widow
and orphans cry too.
But
faithful dogs feel sorrow
Far,
far more than humans do.
[Chorus]
A
smiling father watching
His
son playing from a bench
A
boy behind him scratching
His
shirt on a holly branch
His
mum taking a needle
For
the clothes of her firstborn
Sighing
upon this riddle
How
they're relentlessly torn
[Instr.
chorus]
Girl
reading Wuthering Heights
Old
man answering the phone
Bus
of tourists see the sights
They
only see what they're shown
A
car falling off a cliff
Turned
in scrap metal and smoke
Wide-eyed
girl stopping to give
A
stray cat a little stroke
[Chorus]
I
see schemes, open new trails
All
these encounters
All
these dreams make me wiser
Enrich
my spirit
Changeling
and proud of it!
[instr]
Families
are gathering
For
this long night in winter
For
everyone is marking
The
time when time starts over
Welcome
to this brave new world
A
boy loudly makes it clear
He'll
kiss this pretty young girl
To
celebrate the New Year.
