One night I slept beside a tree And dreamt of running, being free A man appeared small and dainty, dressed in colours O so bold High magic sparkling, did unfold, Soft music touched my very soul
I followed where the music flowed Possessions around me carefully stowed On and on and on we went Till in the hill a great big rent It opened up and swallowed me whole I thought that I was gone forever, never more to be seen How wrong I was, a complete mistake, I was only in between.
Inside the hill t'was a revelation Little folk of sweet natured elation All around me gathered tight Laughing, joking with all their might
I feasted with them, shared their stories By fires of gold and rainbow hue Beautiful people, happy as you'll find Loving, gentle, just my kind
I stayed with them a hundred years It didn't seem that long! It passed right by in the blink of an eye Sad though to leave their merry throng
And even though I'm ravaged by age And really really old I still remember my adventure In those hollow hills of old! ✨✨✨
