Elfland – Leslie Fish

I’ve been out wand’ring,
In foggy country,
Out where strange things exist.

The edge of magic,
The edge of science,
Meet and merge in the mist. 

Is it about fairies?  Is it about revolution?  Who knows!  Probably both!  “Elfland,” by Leslie Fish

full lyrics under cut

I’ve been out wand’ring,
In foggy country,
Out where strange things exist.

The edge of magic,
The edge of science,
Meet and merge in the mist.

And I’ve come back with a,
Book full of songs.
A handful of tactics,
For righting old wrongs.

And all you can say is,
I’ve been gone too long,
You don’t know me at all.

I’ve been out wand’ring,
In hidden country,
Out where your rejects reside.

Where dreams are solid,
Where words are fire,
Out where the free-thinkers hide.

And all you tell me,
Is you don’t care.
You can’t put a meter on,
Sunlight or air.

You’ve got no use for the
New world out there
You don’t know us at all.

Guess I’ll go back there,
With all I’ll get here,
All that will help us go on.

That country’s growing,
With every outcast,
You never notice we’re gone.

And when you’ve won all those,
Games that you’ve played,
You just might see there’s,
No one left to pay.

We’ll have the whole world,
That you threw away,
And we won’t know you at all.
We won’t know you at all.
