And I think of you now 
As a dream that I had long ago 
In a kingdom lost to time 
In the forest of evening 
The archer is bending a bow 
And I see you bring him bread and wine 

Down the legions of years 
The invaders have taken this land 
And bent you to their will 
And the memories fade of the ancients 
And all that they had 
Though the magic lingers round you still 

Oh who would walk the stoney roads 
Of Merlin's time 
And keep the watch along the borderline 
And who would hear the legends passed 
In song and rhyme 
Upon the shepherd pipes of Merlin's time
