about

A Faerytale, wherein a woman warns her lover not to go into the woods at the full moon, for the Fair Ones ride and will bewitch him away. Her description of them so compels her lover that he seeks them out and is lost to her.

lyrics

Bells of Alluria
(Sharon Knight/Winter)

Stay my love, don’t you go out tonight
Stay my love, for the fair ones ride tonight
Oh, the moon is ripe and shining full
At the witching hour their bells will toll
Tonight

Stay my love, for She of the Sylvan lands
Captures hearts with a touch of her hand
The red rose twines up from the hells
Her scent beguiles and you lose yourself
Her tresses shine with an infernal light
She’ll ensnare your soul
And you will not be mine

Shake your silver branches
Set the bells to sing
Revel in the dances
Of the new-made Faery King

Where do you go, my fairest love
Where do you go, with the witching moon above
I’m going out beyond the silver trees,
For you’ve stirred my soul with mystery
The branches twist like a beckoning
The scent of apples lures me in

He’s gone out in the deep of the night
He’s gone out, to glimpse the Faery light
At the edge of the wood where the air is thin
They’ve set their eerie bells to ring
They’ll feed him on the Faery wine
She will speak his name
and he will not be mine

Shake your silver branches
Set the bells to sing
Revel in the dances
Of the new-made Faery King

I’m going out where the branches turn to grey
I’m going out where the beauty does not fade
For once I had a lover true
His heart was lost at the sight of you
I’ll seek him where the night sun shines
And we’ll spend forever drunk on Faery wine

Shake your silver branches
Set the bells to sing
Revel in the dances
Of the new-made Faery King
