as once i was strolling on one hot summer's day,

when i thought i'd lay myself down to rest, 

in a big field of tall grass,

i lay there in the sun, 

and felt it caressing my face,

as i fell asleep, and dreamed...



i dreamed i was in a hollywood movie,

and that i was the star of this movie, 

this really blew my mind;

the fact that me, a noble-faired, long haired leaping gnome, 

should be the star of a hollywood movie. mmmm...



but there i was,

i was taken to a place,

in the hall of the mountain king,

i stood high up on a mountain top,

naked to the world,

in front of, every kind of bird,

there was long ones, tall ones, short ones, round ones,

black ones, brown ones, big ones, crazy ones,



[chorus]

out of the meadow, 

came a lady,

she wispered in my ear, something crazy

she said,

"spill wine, dig that girl,

spill wine, dig that girl,

spill wine, dig that girl"



i could feel hot flames of fire, roaring at my back,

as she disappeared,

but soon she returned,

in her hand was a bottle of wine,

in the other a glass; 

she poured some of the wine, from the bottle into the glass,

and raised it to her lips,

and just before she drank it...



[chorus]
