lyrics

The dusty scent of stone,
Ruined walls rise up before me,
A banner, crimson red, billows in the dawn.
Bronze statues stand guard.
Stare empty-eyed at me.
I watch the tapestries play out deeds of old.

Somehow it makes me feel like I was there,
Walking through the halls as candles flare,
Somehow it makes me feel that time is near
And when they ask me where or when, I'll say,
Now and here.

His curls hide the scars
Earned on his journey; he's battled
Across the angry seas for his Lady Fair.
She holds out her hand,
He presses it to his lips,
Smells the faraway scent of violet in her hair...

Somehow it makes me feel like I was there,
Holding out my hand, trying not to fear,
Somehow it makes me smile though others scowl,
And when they ask me when or where, I'll say,
Here and now!

So if you feel alone -
The world has been unkind,
Or maybe you need to know how special you are!
Return to that place,
Your castle with its dark and angry stones
Away from all your cares!

Doesn't it make you feel like you were there?
Running through the halls as candles flare!
Doesn't it make you feel that time is near
And when they ask you where or when,
Just say, now and here!
