And I think of you now   As a dream that I had long ago   In a kingdom lost in time      In a forest of evening   The archer is bending a bow   And I see you bring him bread and wine      Down the legions of years   The invaders have taken this land   And bent you to their will      And the memories fade of the ancients   And all that they had   Though the magic lingers round you still      Oh, who would walk the stony roads   of Merlin's time?   And keep the watch along the borderline      And who would hear the legends passed   in song and rhyme?   Upon the shepherd pipes of Merlin's time
