When I took my first steps on those northern heights
My father said proudly, you're born to fight
He spoke of great battles where dragons lay slain
That was my fate, a glorious life full of pain
But then I heard music, and the beauty of art
Came to me swiftly and pierced my heart
I swore that I'd write the great songs of our time
I'd travel the world, and that destiny would be mine
And yet I would soon forget I had cared
When I saw how the sun caught in her hair
We danced hand in hand
To the sound of the fiddle band
As boys set the fires alight
And I knew soon enough
The only girl I'd ever love
Was her on that midsummer night
Hey, I was a fool
I never saw it through to the end
I was held fast by the stars she had cast in her eyes
On that midsummer night
ย
One day she said boy, you must face your fears
It's been a tradition for a thousand years
I won't have a husband who hides for hours
Can't lift a sword, and draws pretty pictures of flowers
Well, I said to her, darling, you're not for me
I won't have a wife crush my artistry
Perhaps it is time that we sever our ties
She screamed and she cursed, tears welling up in her eyes
But I'd take it back again, I swear
For a chance to see the sun dance in her hair
We swung hand in hand
To the sound of the fiddle band
As boys set the fires alight
And I knew it then
And surely, I'd know again
The girl on that midsummer night
Hey, I was a fool
I never saw it through
I was held fast by the stars she had cast in her eyes
On that midsummer night
ย
If I'd heard everything I've learned so far
ย
I'd be bolder and I'd hold her in my arms
And the life that I've made
I'd give it all away
Just like I once thought I might
When I knew what I'd be
At least 'til she looked at me
Once on a midsummer night
ย
Hey, I was a fool
I never saw it through to the end
I was held fast by the stars she had cast in her eyes
On that midsummer night
