Renaissance Faire
Blackmore's Night Lyrics

I was told once, by a friend of mine,
The singer's friend told them about an olden sign and expressed her concern that she was not from this time.

She had seen an olden sign,
The friend saw a sign that alluded to a time before their present.

Said she was not from this time,
The friend feels like she doesn't fit in the present time period.

And did I feel the same?
The friend asked the artist if they shared the same feeling or justifiably understood her thoughts.

So I told her, "Yes", I knew her fear
The artist related to her friend's perception of feeling out of place.

As I felt the truth draw near
The singer felt that the truth was gradually becoming more evident.

Told her back three hundred years,
The singer admitted that they felt at home in a past era distinct from this one.

Was the time that I held dear...
The artist cherished that specific period deeply.

Gather lords and ladies fair,
The artist is inviting all nobles (men and women) who are of good moral character.

Come with me to the Renaissance Faire
The artist is inviting them to a festival that celebrates the renaissance period.

Hurry now,
The singer urges people to come along without delay.

We're almost there...
The artist suggests that they are close to arriving at the festival.

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la,la, la, la...
A sense of joyful anticipation comes along with the Faire.

Through the shroud of mystery,
The festival is somewhat hidden behind a veil of secrecy and unknowns.

Turn a page of history,
This festival allows people to experience and walk through pages of history.

Feeling more than you can see,
The festival touches the inner senses of visitors beyond sight and sound.

Down at the Renaissance Faire.
The festival is referring to is situated somewhere popularly called the Renaissance Faire.

Hear the minstrels play their tunes,
Musicians will play tunes throughout the festival.

They will play the whole night through,
Musicians will play without pause through the night.

Special songs for me and for you,
Musicians have specially composed songs for visitors to the festival.

And anyone whose heart is true...
The festival is open to those who have a good heart and wish to experience a unique cultural event.

There's too many stars for one sky to hold,
There is too much talent and beauty in the world for it to be contained in one place.

Some will fall, others are sold,
Because there are too many people with beautiful traits, only a few will be successful.

As the fields turn to gold
As the festival continues to blossom, beautiful moments will arise with more wealth.

Down at the Renaissance Faire...
All of these beautiful experiences can be enjoyed at the festival.
