Fairy Rings

And in my yard there's fairy rings
And tall dark trees
And evil things
That speak to me inside my head
Sit in the clearing
Go to be
I'm very fond of summer shade
Join me here
Come out and play
Along the path now we will walk
Up the hill
Down to the mud

I was a child, a friend
A child again
I was a child, a friend
A child again

From the mud is where they're born
Darken bodies
Thin and worn
They walk around me through the trees
Blending in
So no one sees
But I can see them clear as day
They pull and call me
Out to play
Silent voices, setting sun
My mom is waiting
I must run

I was a child, a friend
A child again
I was a child, a friend
A child again

I can see them in my dreams
In the shadows
Calling me
Reaching for the brightest light
Cover up
Its cold at night
My covers keep me nice and warm
But I can feel them
My mind is torn
Do I look or look away
They were gone
But back some day

I was a child, a friend
A child again
I was a child, a friend
A child again
I was a child, a friend
A child again
I was a child, a friend
A child again
