Julius Frank — Aurora — lyrics
{Verse 1}
She comes a-sailin’ in the dark, little darlin’
On the wings of the silver-singin’ lark, little darlin’
Spangled in her eyes, the pearls of purple nights
Twinklin’ like ancient fireflies
{Verse 2}
Cloaked in the fragrance of July, softly burnin’
Roamin’ with a hungry heart, so full of yearnin’
Her hair — a golden storm floatin’ in the dark
Her bare feet still dusty from the park
{Chorus}And her fairytale cape’s shimmerin’ and flyin’
Gently dancin’ like the steam from a chalice
Like aurora borealis
Like dolphins at play
On a calm, cloudy day
{Verse 3}
“Where does Cinderella sleep?”
She asks me, “Where does Cinderella sleep?”
Little darlin’, it must be somewhere where the northern lights flare
And Snow White dances ’til the dawn
{Verse 4}
And good old Robin Hood swings from the branches
And Fanny Brawne and Keats take their chances
And the nine Muses weave the silk of your bed
With crystal-singin’ harps a-glowin’ red
{Chorus}
And your fairytale cape’s shimmerin’ and flyin’
Gently dancin’ like the steam from a chalice
Like aurora borealis
Like dolphins at play
On a calm, cloudy day
{Bridge}
And your voice echoes slow
Up turrets aglow
{Verse 5}
Tomorrow, just before the breakin’ dawn, I’ll wake you
And we’ll tread across the dewy lawn, toward the streamlets
With bait and fishing rods, in yellow rubber boots
Past the oak trees and the tranquil dryad flutes
{Verse 6}
So you better try and get some sleep, little darlin’
Venture down the steps of summer’s keep, little darlin’
Where Cremona fiddles hum and Rowling’s magic beats the drum
And fantasies ripen into luscious plums
{Chorus}
And your fairytale cape’s shimmerin’ and flyin’
Gently dancin’ like the steam from a chalice
Like aurora borealis
Like dolphins at play
On a calm, cloudy day
