UFFINGTON HORSE
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

Where ancient walls of castle halls,
Resound with voice and string-
We'll journey there where on the air,
The chords of magic ring-
Where welcome notes come from the throats,
Of friendship soon to be-
And songs will grace a mystic place,
Enchanting you and me-

WE'LL RUN THE COURSE
FROM STONEHENGE UP TO UFFINGTON
ON A WHITE CHALK HORSE WE'LL RIDE
NO FEAR HAVE I
OF FAERIE, SPRITE OR MORTAL MAN
IF YOU ARE BY MY SIDE

We'll travel 'round far underground,
Where shadows dance and run-
In tunnels deep, where goblins sleep,
And never see the sun-
Where darkness seems alive with screams,
Of bansidhe on the fly-
Hot wind will send your hair on end,
When dragons pass you by!

And in the wood where Robin Hood,
Once hid his secret den-
We'll play a song and sing along,
With all his merry men-
And tell a tale with fine brewed ale,
And friends from long ago-
And tread the moss of Robin's Cross,
Where magic memories flow!

We'll climb the hill where lying still,
The one true horse remains-
Protected there by those who care,
Against the winds and rains-
And standing where a thankful prayer,
Is said by you and me-
Our humble quest is greatly blessed,
By ancient mystery-

And now I roam on winds of home,
And think on what I've learned-
Of ancient bones and standing stones,
How dragon fire's burned-
Of Ladies nine, and magic sign,
And travels made by chance-
While under me I think I see,
The nine white horses dance!
