Just random lyrics from a new (well not strictly new but new enough) group I've discovered/been introduced to courtesy of the Flembic group: Blackmore's Night
I've had difficulty getting this one out of my head since I heard it and figured that certain of my friends list would appreciate it as well. If you have the chance you should really go download the audio clip (it's not a clip it's the whole song) as is very pretty.


Way to Mandalay

I wandered down the pathway, through the misty moor
Like I knew he did a thousand times before
Voices seem to echo "Come talk with me a while
Just around the corner, just another mile..."

I had heard the stories, her legend served her well
A mystic's myth or fable, truth or fairy tale
A raggle taggle gypsy , with a toothless smile
Said "Sit with me my darling, let's talk a little while..."

*And the road goes on, seeming ever longer on the Way to Mandalay
And the road goes on, forever will I wander on the Way to Mandalay...

The mile went on forever, the minutes turned to days
Could I have been misguided by the mystic's ways?
The moment lasts forever, at least it does for me
Caught between what happened and what could never be...
