Way to Mandalay - Blackmore's Night

I wandered down the pathway, through the misty moor

Like I knew he did a thousand times before

Voices seem to echo «Come talk with me a while

Just around the corner, just another mile…»

I had heard the stories, her legend served her well

A mystic’s myth or fable, truth or fairy tale

A raggle taggle gypsy, with a toothless smile

Said «Sit with me my darling, let’s talk a little while…»

And the road goes on, forever will I wander on the Way to Mandalay…

The mile went on forever, the minutes turned to days

Could I have been misguided by the mystic’s ways?

The moment lasts forever, at least it does for me Caught between what happened and what could never be…
