Telling Fortunes In The Night

Once upon a midsummer night
By the lake I told fortunes in the dark

Telling fortunes
I dance in the waves
Silent waters, show me the face
Of my love
Tell my fate

Clear sky reflects in silent waters
Mirror of waves whispers to me
Eyes of blue look out of the shadows
Dark-haired fellow gazing from a dream

Silent waters
Show me the face
Of my love
Tell my fate

Came out of the shade
Eyes of pure dawn
He gives me his hand
And takes away from cold

Telling fortunes
I dance in the waves
Silent waters, show me the face
Of my love
Tell my fate

Heart of fire, depth of sea
Toll of midnight
Who are you, my midnight mystery?

Out of the night he came and gave me a ring
Calling for me now, the only desire of my heart
Once gone he’s returned for me to be never apart
The one foreseen path to go, the one my dear king

Dancing in waves
I told fortunes
Once upon a midsummer night

I send to you the song through the dream
To comfort once wounded heart
Show me once if it’s real
Answer my call through this foretold night
