Enchantment

Come ye in of your own free will

Sit ye down and have a drink

Ease your pain as the night grows chill

In a warm chair you can sink

Hang your coat, doff your cap

Strike the road dust from your shoes

Draw an ale from the wooden tap

It's the best of all our brews

CHORUS:

Turn your head, look over your shoulder

Tell me now what do you see?

Buildings of man in a nameless town

Or enchantment of the gentry?

You ate our food and you drank our wine

Now it's time to have a song-

You can leave while you have the time

Or you can sing along-

Tell us a tale, sing us a tune

Or dance with the girl in green

Tell us who you are and what you've done

And the mysteries you've seen

The stories told and the music played

Go on through endless time

Some are dark, some are gay

In free form or in rhyme-

Lilt and lyric weave a cloth

As soft as a velvet gown

That wraps you as a flame to moth

While you slowly settle down

Your eyes will close as you start to doze

As your head back slowly slips

The finest wine will around you bind

As it tingles on your lips

The dawn will grow the cock will crow

But you'll never hear that call

'tis the finest inn t' which you ere have been

so you may not leave at all!
