Lyrics
'Twas autumn time and all the leaves
fell gently down from sleeping trees
Old man wind blew quietly through the somber little town
A girl came through this village gray,
from where she hailed no one could say
when she called out strong and true
the children followed two by two
Come children dance by night
frolic in the pale moonlight
Wolves and trolls will soon be gone
so let us dance 'til dawn
Clouds raced by the moon that night
Owl and bat flew off in fright
While down below an eerie sight at the clearing in the wood
Children danced, they laughed and sang
through the dark their voices rang
but in the distance wolves and trolls were howling in dispair
Chorus
Seasons passed and time waxed old
Memories faded, then grew cold
the tales were no longer told and the people soon forgot
that on a lonely moonlit night
children danced with great delight
to banish wolves and trolls alike from the somber little town
Chorus
