"I Wandered Ancient Countryside" written and performed by Elizabeth Hummel, with Jon Green and Peter Pendras Engineering and mastering by Brian Castillo A song about lost love and the fairy folk, illustrated with 58 beautiful paintings in the public domain (published before Jan. 1, 1928 in the US). Many of the paintings were by Pre-Raphaelite painters, all listed at the end of the video. Lyrics I wandered ancient countryside I wandered all through the town And when the sweet green earth opened wide I knew that I must go down Must go down, must go down Must go down, must go down When fated love like blossoms surround You know that you must go down I gazed upon the lake below To the land of the fairy folk The oarsman said, “step quick, we must go I have come to take you home Take you home, take you home, take you home, take you home The days are long, summer breezes blow I have come to take you home” My heart flew high, my heart learned to sing And I tasted the fruits of the vine I danced each night in the arms of a king And the days glowed like amber wine Amber wine, amber wine, amber wine, amber wine The dream was real, the dream was so fine When the days glowed like amber wine Amber wine, amber wine, amber wine, amber wine Frozen love was far from my mind When the days glowed like amber wine I woke one day in a field of snow With the ravens circling above Where oh where was my land of gold? Was this the death of love? Death of love, death of love, death of love, death of love My heart lay still as a bleeding dove Was this the death of love? The snowflakes flew and fell on my face As soft as the blossoms of spring I prayed for Lethe’s final embrace But my poor heart still longed to sing Longed to sing, longed to sing, longed to sing, longed to sing I felt the brush of the black raven’s wing But my poor heart still longed to sing Longed to sing, longed to sing, longed to sing, longed to sing Winter’s kiss had frozen my wings But my poor heart still longed to sing Seasons come and seasons go And broken hearts will mend Though I woke up in a field of snow My heart would fly free again Free again, free again, free again, free again Blossoms return, winter will end Your heart will fly free again
