Merlin's Time
Composer(s): Al Stewart; Peter White
Performer(s): Al Stewart



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

Down the ligneous years the invaders have taken these lands
And bent you to their will
And the murmurous fade of the ancients and all that they had
But the magic lingers round you still

Oh who will walk the stony roads of Merlin's time 
And keep a watch along the boarder line? 
And who will hear the legends passed in song and rhyme
Upon the shepard's pipes of Merlin's time?
