like the birds through the air
the sky turns a cold darkness
like the bottom of an endless ocean
all is quiet
like the silent man
then the elves come out
they dance all night
into the sky
the fire it burns
like the flames in their eyes
the animals, they see, they watch, they view
then when the time is right, they join in too
dance dance dance the night away
then the sun, it starts to wake
the elves stop and look around
the animals run away
the bonfire dies
the sun is out
and thats the end
but dont worry
you see
theyll come back
just wait
in the shadows
theyre waiting
to resume their dance
