Steeleye Span - Be Careful What You Wish For lyrics
[Steeleye Span - Be Careful What You Wish For lyrics]
The river runs through the valley
The sheep graze on the hill
The sun so high in a boundless sky
Shines down the day, until
The night declares the watchful moon
To guard us from all ill
You believe your dreams, it's just a fantasy
A secret world that can never be
A sprite of Nature's mystery
From silver clouds she sends
A whispering breeze through the dancing trees
In a dance that never ends
At close of day, through golden rains
This kingdom, he ascends
Keep it in your dreams, it's just a fantasy
A sеcret world that can never bе
While even as the earth is turning
Something deep inside it's furnace
Nothing comes from softly yearning
Here at wishing time
Be careful what you wish for
Dreams look different in the light of day
Be careful what you wish for
That deep desire to have your way
Could burn you, and turn you head around
Come walking from the dawn of time
The winds of change arise
With angels cheering, cheer for you
And the foolish mound may rise
The fool and all, all reason mouth
Singing as they rise
Keep it in your dreams, it's just a fantasy
A secret world that can never be
But even as the earth is turning
Something deep inside it's furnace
Nothing comes from softly yearning
Here at wishing time
Be careful what you wish for
Dreams look different in the light of day
Be careful what you wish for
That deep desire to have your way
Could burn you, and turn you head around
In the fairy forest, I was lost
While searching for the gold
With hopes of joy and happiness
If riches I could hold
I've lived in dreams for far too long
And now I'm growing old
Keep it in my dreams, it's just a fantasy
A secret world that can never be
Be careful what you wish for
Dreams look different in the light of day
Be careful what you wish for
That deep desire to have your way
Could burn you, and turn you head around
Be careful what you wish for
Dreams look different in the light of day
Be careful what you wish for
That deep desire to have your way
Could burn you, and turn you head around
The sheep graze on the hill
The sun so high in a boundless sky
Shines down the day, until
The night declares the watchful moon
To guard us from all ill
You believe your dreams, it's just a fantasy
A secret world that can never be
A sprite of Nature's mystery
From silver clouds she sends
A whispering breeze through the dancing trees
In a dance that never ends
At close of day, through golden rains
This kingdom, he ascends
Keep it in your dreams, it's just a fantasy
A sеcret world that can never bе
While even as the earth is turning
Something deep inside it's furnace
Nothing comes from softly yearning
Here at wishing time
Be careful what you wish for
Dreams look different in the light of day
Be careful what you wish for
That deep desire to have your way
Could burn you, and turn you head around
Come walking from the dawn of time
The winds of change arise
With angels cheering, cheer for you
And the foolish mound may rise
The fool and all, all reason mouth
Singing as they rise
Keep it in your dreams, it's just a fantasy
A secret world that can never be
But even as the earth is turning
Something deep inside it's furnace
Nothing comes from softly yearning
Here at wishing time
Be careful what you wish for
Dreams look different in the light of day
Be careful what you wish for
That deep desire to have your way
Could burn you, and turn you head around
In the fairy forest, I was lost
While searching for the gold
With hopes of joy and happiness
If riches I could hold
I've lived in dreams for far too long
And now I'm growing old
Keep it in my dreams, it's just a fantasy
A secret world that can never be
Be careful what you wish for
Dreams look different in the light of day
Be careful what you wish for
That deep desire to have your way
Could burn you, and turn you head around
Be careful what you wish for
Dreams look different in the light of day
Be careful what you wish for
That deep desire to have your way
Could burn you, and turn you head around
