A band of merry travelers

When I was but a child

Caught me up and headed off

Into the forest wild



We wandered ?neath a leafy realm

Where never light had shown

And straying from a well worn path

I found myself alone



The night I heard an elven song

I'd lost the trail and wandered long

But I never lost the memory of

The elven melody



I found myself alone and lost

Where never man had strayed

When somewhere just ahead I heard

The sweetest serenade



Is that a light I see up there

A fire burning bright

Are elven minstrels singing fair

Unto the forest night



But as I blundered towards the sound

Of voices sad and sweet

The light was gone and so the sound

Of voices sad and sweet



Don't leave me here to pine alone

Come back and sing your song

And maybe you will tarry here

And let me sing along



The night I heard an elven song

I'd lost the trail and wandered long

But I never lost the memory of

The elven melody
