Damh the Bard – Obsession
I am temptation, and I am the air that you breathe.
Mine are the lips, and yours is the skin that I tease.
When you close your eyes, I am the face that you see.
Mine is the voice inviting you to lie with me.

Dream of a Tree – So Far Away
I’ve had my share of lovers, touched
lips and wedded hopes
Seeking comfort in the arms of another
This heart is sore from romancing,
spin me round and round again
Till these feet sting hot from the dancing
I look for life among the graves, I
eat the fruit of nightshade
And wonder why I’m sick inside
I drink poison like fine wine, but
cannot let go of the lie
That keeps me here
So far away
So far away
Cold hand I hold to the fire, night
falls on me alone
I can’t escape this demon of desire
I’ll beg for another love; hold me,
want me, take me in
So Sad to say I know I’ll never be enough
I just want a place where I feel
safe, a warm hand soft upon my face
That never leaves
See something beautiful in me, sing a
song of love to set me free
Cause that’s all I need
Sing me to sleep, hold my hand
Sing me to sleep, rest my head
against your chest
Sing me to sleep, all I want is some peace
Sing me to sleep
So far away, oh love
I’m so far away

Mylene Farmer – Desenchantee
Nager dans les eaux troubles
Des lendemains
Attendre ici la fin
Flotter dans l’air trop lourd
Du presque rien
A qui tendre la main
Si je dois tomber de haut
Que ma chute soit lente
Je n’ai trouvé de repos
Que dans l’indifférence
Pourtant, je voudrais retrouver l’innocence
Mais rien n’a de sens, et rien ne va

Blackmore's Night – Windmills
Far from the worn path of reason
Further away from the sane
He battles his shadows and demons
Fighting to light the way
And the dust and the dirt cloud his vision
Onward he rides unafraid
He fights the good fight for good reason
A star that refuses to fade
Still he braves his path…
While windmills only laugh
She was wounded and wild when he found her
He saw her through child’s eyes
She fell for the spell he was under
Each day a brand new surprise
And she watches with strange curiosity
She wants so much to believe
Trying to break the chains of reality
Dying to set herself free

Blackmore's Night – Just call my name
So many nights I sat here waiting
There were times I couldn’t go on
Still my heart was anticipating
It made me be strong
Made me hold on…

Blackmore's Night – Olde Village Lanterne
Don’t shed a tear for me
I stand alone
This path of destiny
Is all my own
Once in the hands of fate
There is no choice
An echo on the wind
You’ll hear my voice…

Nothing but the rain
The night’s wings had already embraced the building walls and a sensation of comfort immediately enshrouded my heart. I felt safe in night’s embrace, always had. My relationship with the darkness serene had always been a very special one.

The Answer
I can assure you no answer to any one of them has ever brought me one iota of happiness. Except for one. The one. The only question I’ve ever wanted an answer to – is she the one? The answer bloody well isn’t forty-two, it’s yes. Undoubtedly, unequivocally, unabashedly yes. And for one week, one week in my sad little blip of an existence, it made me happy.
