Kathy Mar Lady Ellen Lyrics

Lady Ellen Lyrics

Lady Ellen wandered in the quiet wood



Pondering the suitors for her hand



Wishing for a life alone and yet, with love,



Bending to her father's one command







All at once a rustle and a sweet perfume



Filled the little meadow where she stood



All at once a silver silken unicorn



Took a dainty step out of the wood







Lady Ellen gasped and took a trembling step



Reaching out in timid quaking grace



Quivering, the unicorn stepped forward too



Quiet terror showing on its face







And in one light touch their spirits joined and sang



Sharing their unspoken thoughts and fears



Lady Ellen gazed into the midnight eyes



Losing, in that look, one thousand years







Lady Ellen wanders in the city streets



Staring at the traffic and the light



Looking for a unicorn that disappeared



And left her in this lonely future night















Words and music:Kathy Mar
