By an old drinking well on the grass so green 
I lay down and fell into a dream 
By a strange mellow sound from a silver eyed bird 
I opened my eyes but said no word 
On the pathway came walking a woman so bold 
Behind her in silence went the old 

Ahead ran the children with joyful cries 
Their faces were lifted to the skies 
The woman's hair was raven and black as the night 
Covered with stars shining bright 

As they passed by the well I saw that their eyes 
Were flaming like many coloured ice 
They passed by the well like a breeze pure and clean 
Soon they were nowhere to be seen 


When I woke up alone on the grass so green 
I looked into the well to catch the dream 
The water was rising and I felt a chill 
I willed the water to be still 

There was a face in the mirror like a face out of time 
The eyes held a shimmery shine 
There was a face in the mirror 
and the face wasn't mine 
The eyes held a shimmery shine
