Words and music by Dora Darling - One night a unicorn danced through my life, perhaps I followed that shining being

lyrics

In the middle of the night the unicorn came
And she followed him out in the wind and the rain
No other saw them pass silently by,
Though his heavenly brightness it shone like a star
The peace of the unicorn deep in her heart
She was part of his magic as stone is of earth.

Days passed into weeks as they ran through the land,
Crossing mountains and hot desert sands
Til they came to the moors on a moonlit night
Through swirling fog she followed his light
And so by a shore they came silently there
She laid her head gently on his breast

Twas then that the unicorn turned around and sang
This is the place where al life began
And these are the doors to my mothers land,
Be sure that you wish for to part from this world
For nothing can save you not silver nor gold
And all will become what you wish to behold

These are but stepping-stones into another land,
The mist she pulls you on with her icy hand
Tread carefully child, but slip and be lost,
For so many others their lives it has cost
Tis clear to me now to this world you belong,
You called from the other with such beautiful song

And all of her passion and all of her pain,
Slipped through the fog and the wind and the rain
She glowed with such brightness as a heavenly star
A new being of lightness with a unicorns horn
And now she can sing from dusk until dawn
For in the magical realm she’s reborn.
