A band of merry travelers
When I was but a child
Caught me up and headed off
Into the forest wild

We wandered 'neath a leafy realm
Where never light had shown
And straying from a well worn path
I found myself alone

The night I heard an elven song
I'd lost the trail and wandered long
But I never lost the memory of
The elven melody

I found myself alone and lost
Where never man had strayed
When somewhere just ahead I heard
The sweetest serenade

Is that a light I see up there
A fire burning bright
Are elven minstrels singing fair
Unto the forest night

But as I blundered towards the sound
Of voices sad and sweet
The light was gone and so the sound
Of voices sad and sweet

Don't leave me here to pine alone
Come back and sing your song
And maybe you will tarry here
And let me sing along

The night I heard an elven song
I'd lost the trail and wandered long
But I never lost the memory of
The elven melody
