The Doctor Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Under a Violet Moon - Blackmore's Night Dancing to the feel of the drum Leave this world behind We'll have a drink and toast to ourselves Under a Violet Moon Tudor Rose with her hair in curls Will make you turn and stare Try to steal a kiss at the bridge Under a Violet Moon [Chorus] Raise your hats and your glasses too We will dance the whole night through We're going back to a time we knew Under a Violet Moon [End Chorus] Cheers to the Knights and days of old the beggars and the thieves living in an enchanted wood Under a Violet Moon Fortuneteller what do you see Future in a card Share your secrets, tell them to me Under a Violet Moon [Chorus] Close your eyes and lose yourself In a medieval mood Taste the treasures and sing the tunes Under a Violet Moon Tis my delight on a shiny night The season of the year To keep the lanterns burning bright Under a Violet Moon [Chorus x 4] Yo ho ho!

The Doctor Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'm probably a day late and a bob short, but I ran across these incredible Renaissance Faire Music Podcasts. They're free and will play on any MP3 player. The shows range from 30 to 45 minutes, and feature performances by Ren musicians from all over the country. Cool stuff!! :) Yo ho ho!

The Doctor Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 This song always reminds me of standing on the shore, gazing at the sea. OCEAN GYPSY Tried to take it all away And learn her freedom just inside a day, And find her soul, To find their fears allayed. Tried to make her love their own, They took her love; they left her there, They gave her nothing back, That she would want to own. Gold and silver rings and stones Dances slowly off the moon, No-one else can know She stands alone. Sleeping dreams will reach for her, She cannot say the words they need. She knows she's alone, And she is free Chorus: Ocean Gypsy of the moon, The sun has made a thousand nights For you to hold. Ocean gypsy where are you? The shadows followed by the stars Have turned to gold, turned to gold Then she met a hollow soul, Filled him with her light And was consoled; she was the moon, And he, the sun, was gold. Eyes were blinded with his light, The sun she gave Reflected back the night, The moon was waning, Almost out of sight. Softly Ocean Gypsy calls, Silence holds the stars awhile. They smile sadly For her where she falls. Just the time before the dawn, The sea is hushed, The ocean calls her... Day has taken her and now she's gone... Repeat chorus No-one noticed when she died, Ocean Gypsy shackled to the tide, The ebbing waves were turning, Spreading wide... Something gone within her eyes, Her fingers, lifeless, stroke the sand. Her battered soul was lost, She was abandoned. Silken threads like wings still shine, Winds take pleasure, still make patterns In her lovely hair, So dark and fine. Stands on high beneath the seas, Cries no more, Her tears have dried. Oceans weep for her, the ocean sighs... Repeat chorus Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

The Doctor Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 "All For Me Grog" {Chorus} Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog, It's all for me beer and tobacco. For I spent all me tin with the lassies drinking gin, Far across the Western Ocean I must wander. Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots? They're all gone for beer and tobacco. For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about, And the soles are looking out for better weather. Chorus Where is me shirt, my noggin', noggin' shirt? It's all gone for beer and tobacco. For the collar is all worn, and the sleeves they are all torn, And the tail is looking out for better weather Chorus Where is me bed, me noggin', noggin' bed? It's all gone for beer and tobacco. Well I lent it to a whore and now the sheets are all tore And the springs are looking out for better whether. Chorus Where is me wench, me noggin', noggin' wench? She's all gone for beer and tobacco. Well her (clap) is all worn out and her (clap) is knocked about, And her (clap) is looking out for better weather. Chorus I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed Since first I came ashore with me plunder. For I spent all me dough on the lassies movin' slow, Far across the Western Ocean I must wander. Chorus x 2 Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
