Come closer to me and I’ll tell you a story,
This is what I do.
I’ll show you a man in search of a quest
Of finding out what is true.
We’ll fly into dreams and man-made schemes,
Of churches bound to fall.
Come closer to me and I’ll tell you a story,
This is what I do.

I want to re-create the nights like before,
Where a woman and a man,
Were allowed to dance and find romance,
Anyway they can.
Let the fiddler play and the church choir say,
What I want to deep in my core.
For in the morning, I’ll be on my way,
And may never come back no more.

Let me document this far away land,
See the battle troops make their way.
And learn about the young men,
Dreaming and falling,
And let them have their say.
The minstrel to your children I’ll be,
I’ll disappear like a ghost in the night.
I won’t say a word about the things you’ve heard,
And let you figure out if it was right.

Come closer to me and I’ll tell you a story,
This is what I do.
I’ll show you a man in search of a quest
Of finding out what is true.
The minstrel to your children I’ll be,
I’ll disappear like a ghost in the night.
Come closer to me and I’ll tell you a story,
This is what I do.
