In the forest glade,
I lay me down to sleep a while
There beneath the fine oak tree,
I dream the strangest dream
Strange dance,
strange night, demon came to me
Come the morning light,
I woke to find I was a child
Boy was born, he laughs, he sings,
I look on in awe
Strange dance, strange dawn,
oak tree was no more
Will he be full of love?
Will he pave the devil's way?
Caressing me with his golden eyes,
spell is cast,
I have no say
Strange dance,
strange tale,
Merlin was born on a summer's day
Merlin was born today
