11. Fairy Moon
Fairy Moon gonna marry him in a cave
An ancient river runs through
Candles burn in mysterious ways
Lace train over limestone grey
Fairy Moon gonna marry him today
Where does this river run to?
Fairy Moon gonna marry him in a cave
An ancient river runs through
Stone altar gives her away
But she’s always gonna keep her name
Fairy Moon gonna marry him today
Where does this river run to?
Stand between two Moons
Caught between two towns
Fairy Moon gonna take him underground
[Spoken word]
Enter the cave
Midsummer Namesake
Queen by my side
Bouquet cascade
Oberon’s Throne
Titania’s Bower
In this clandestine hour
We take our vows
”I do” (love looks not with the eyes)
Fairy Moon and Frank Hansford’s wedding in Fairy Cave, Buchan Caves, 1930

[Spoken word]
If these shadows have offended
Think but this and all is mended
Oh what fools these mortals be
Know your truth and awake the spirit mother
For here we think in centuries
At Oberon’s Throne we stand
And echo through this chamber
”I do”
Stand between two Moons
Caught between two towns
Fairy Moon gonna take him underground
Fairy Moon gonna marry him in a cave
An ancient river runs through
Candles burn in mysterious ways
Lace train over limestone grey
Fairy Moon gonna marry him today
Where does this river run to?
Fairy Moon gonna marry him in a cave
An ancient river runs through
Stone altar gives her away
But she’s always gonna keep her name
Fairy Moon gonna marry him today
Where does this river run to?
