This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Sable sky anoints the earth
With crystal 'neath my foot
Wide-eyed, white-plumed owl plays
Upon his magic flute
Silver-circled moonlight
Cresting waves of shadow blue
And the river is secretly flowing
Shining stars dance high above
The cobweb tree limbs' grace
Fairy castles crowned with light
Fly banners of white lace
Tangled boughs of holly watch
With eyes of scarlet hue
And the wind is silently blowing
Are no men, is only man
Seeking one love
Searching vainly for excuse
Among the stars above
Eyes too tired to see the river
Flowing 'neath the ice
And too numb to see the purpose
Behind knowing
With crystal 'neath my foot
Wide-eyed, white-plumed owl plays
Upon his magic flute
Silver-circled moonlight
Cresting waves of shadow blue
And the river is secretly flowing
Shining stars dance high above
The cobweb tree limbs' grace
Fairy castles crowned with light
Fly banners of white lace
Tangled boughs of holly watch
With eyes of scarlet hue
And the wind is silently blowing
Are no men, is only man
Seeking one love
Searching vainly for excuse
Among the stars above
Eyes too tired to see the river
Flowing 'neath the ice
And too numb to see the purpose
Behind knowing
