[Spoken]
The faery ring, gateway into the elfin kingdom
A place where elves gather and dance
I was plucked from the faery circle, from the sorcerer's rings
And the faery lady's glance
[Sung verse]
Lost in faery, through wild rose and thyme
I found my true love, a true love of mine
Scattered by the wind and steel-grey skies
I search for my lady with her wild blue eyes
Green and yellow catkins, sun on my skin
There's dancing in the woodlands, lords and ladies let me in
Harp and flute, drum and dance, like a memory since gone
There's dancing in the woodlands, lords and ladies led me on
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah)
Wild-eyed and tangled, tumbling through the thyme
Chased through briar and bramble, lords and ladies dressed so fine
Bells and buckles, white and gold, horses' hooves and jingling wings
Of a pale lady with wild blue eyes and a heartbreaking smile
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Daylight mist, dark and moss, dressed in bottle-green
One foot in the circle, lords and ladies pull me in
Silver blossom in your hair, dew on your skin
Dancing in the woodlands, lords and ladies let me in
Lords and ladies let me in, lords and ladies let me in
Lords and ladies let me in

[Verse]
Grey-green moss and tangled, grovel in the magic ring
Dancing in the woodlands, lords and ladies let me in
Elven light in your eyes, wind through your hair
Dancing in the woodlands, lords and ladies let me in
Lords and ladies let me in, lords and ladies let me in
Lords and ladies let me in
