Merlin's Time

And I think of you now as a dream that I had long ago

In a kingdom lost to time

And in the forests of evening the archer is bending a bow

And I see you bring him bread and wine

Down the legions of years the invaders have taken this land

And bent you to their will

And the murmurous fade of the ancients and all that they had

Though the magic lingers around you still

Oh, who will walk the stony roads of Merlin's time

And keep a watch along the boarder line?

And who will hear the legends passed in song and rhyme

Upon the shepherd's pipes of Merlin's time?
