about

Inspired by William Shakepseare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

lyrics

A silly air is in tonight
A fairy’s trick, a trick of light
Ill fated love, not granted true
A father’s heartless matching threw

For hearts deep into the night
Where woodland magic will take flight
And turn the hearts and turn the heads
And turn the actors from their friend’ s
Unfortunate plight

And who to blame this mess upon?
Our own dear Puck and Oberon
Our own dear Puck and Oberon
Oberon
Oberon…..

How much can change with just a slight
Twist of day And turn of light
With the moon such strange things can creep
And when we wake should we believe our sleep?
Darkness casts such dreams and tricks
Confusion it does come so quick
And with our dreams come strange truths
And unbeknown our hearts moved on
And unbeknown our hearts moved on
Hearts Moved on
Oberon
Oberon

He turned their hearts and turned their heads
And turned the actors from their friend x3

And who to blame this mess upon
Oberon x2
Oberon
Oberon

In our minds, we might forget
But the body, cannot un-tell
Deep inside the dream is true
And marks us with it’s tale

And who to blame this mess upon
Oberon
