Wings Of Fantasy

Come all of ye fair
and silver ladies
Who rise with the dawn
Dreaming of lovers
Sing to the swans
The count gave me
a jet black saddle
to ride upon
Showed me the view
Showed me the horses
And he showed me you
And you were young
as morning sunlight
You lit up
another cigarette
And silent, silent, clear
and silent were your eyes
I never will forget
And I rode off
on the wings of fantasy
Wandering through
the corridors
In an ancient violet
evening gown
Drunk on champagne
Had to see you again
Found you in the stable,
would you saddle me
a thoroughbred
And where will you be
When the moon's
in the trees
Oh, come to me please
And there I stood
a modern Madame Bovary
In a party dress
And silent, silent,
yes,
your silent eyes said yes
The lady in distress
And the night came down
on the wings of fantasy
Well, I had been over
a dozen times or more
To the red sand o
n Normandy's shore
Seen the Abby
of Mont. St. Michel
Diamonds of Deauville
Ah,
but I've never kissed
you before
And you gave
your heart to me
Yes,
I am a fair and silver lady
I dance in the snow
And follow the stallions
Where the north winds blow
While I was lamenting
over my lost youth
You came along
Dreaming of lovers
And an evening song
And,
if I am a rose of summer
You are a breath of spring
A garden of delights
And when I feel lonely
in days of winter
you will ride
To the castle light
And we will fly
on the wings of fantasy
On the wings of fantasy
Far as the eye can see
Off the shores of Normandy
On the wings of fantasy
