How fair, how far, oh wand'ring star, to blaze across my night
Your dazzling glow on me below, a beacon to my sight
How fair, how far, oh wand'ring star
That shines for my delight
Come down to me if you can free yourself from orbit's trace
Fear not the fall, the risk is small for heart that's boldly placed
How fair, how far, oh wand'ring star
That burns the paths of space
Stay here a while, the endless miles will wait another day
You need not roam -- make here a home in my arms, come what may
How fair, how far, oh wand'ring star
That lights the trav'ler's way
We'll share the wine from richest vine which e'en the dregs are sweet
And pour again, up to the brim, together drinking deep
How fair, how far, oh wand'ring star
Such spirit and so free
Be of one mind, for now's our time to play life's game of chance
And have and hold, which none foretold, our hopeful new romance
How fair, how far, oh wand'ring star
So graceful in love's dance
How fair, how far, oh wand'ring star
So near, and yet so far

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful.
Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
