Across The Border - The Little People lyrics

Some people fear of the morning, some people fear of the night Some people here fear the pale moonlight and some wait for the night Some wait for the night... Once they lived near by the old wood, deep under trees, warped by roots Once they were friends of the human race but they could not keep the pace Of the human race... Some people saw them once dancing, dancing between ancient stones Wild hand in hand round the fires heat afar the Christian breed Round the fires heat... Refrain: But now they're gone, our priests have turned them into tales Our church bells have driven them away And now the sign of the cross is burned forever in their flesh Forever and ever and a day Our church bells have driven them away... Refrain Me granddad met some of the old race, quite a few times long ago Sometimes the doors here were open wide and both worlds did collide When doors were open wide... He told me you could hear their voices, delightful and near were their songs Beautiness drifted all through the night, soaked in silver light Drifting through the night... Refrain
