Fairy Tales from the Whiskey Jar
Enchanting Dreams: A Fairy Tale of Love and Time
Lyrics
If we were in my fairy world
Imagining a world that feels magical or fantastical.
You would be my fairy king and
Referring to a partner as a significant or regal figure.
I'd be your fairy girl
Describing a romantic connection in this imaginary world.
We'd kiss under a mushroom and
Visualizing an intimate moment in a whimsical setting.
Sing a little whistle, you'd give a little kiss
Sharing affection and engaging in playful activities.
I'd give a little tickle
Continuing the playful and affectionate interaction.
I'd write you a letter to keep in your pocket
Expressing feelings through a written form of communication.
Then I'd keep you in mine in a tiny little locket
Symbolizing closeness and commitment through a locket.
And if you got sick I'd make you a potion
Offering care and remedy in the form of a potion.
I'd lather you in a honeysuckle lotion
Further care through a soothing lotion.
We'd go out at night and look up at the sky
Sharing moments of wonder and intimacy.
And I'd whisper in your ear a secret that I like
Sharing personal and intimate thoughts.
We could get a little dog that we would call Vader
Imagining having pets and giving them playful names.
A cat called Luke and a mouse called Leia
Continuing the playful naming of pets.
We'll go on walks, we'll draw with chalk
Envisioning shared activities and creativity.
A ladder we can climb, to the place we'd always talked
Symbolizing a shared escape or retreat.
When we get old we can set a little spot
Planning for a future meeting place.
Where we can meet when all of this is gone
Imagining a future together despite aging.
When our teeth have fallen out, our hairs turned grey
Reflecting on aging and the passage of time.
And our hearts stop beating, we will still remain the same
Emphasizing enduring love and connection beyond physical changes.
I'll ask you if you have the tiny little locket
Recalling a symbolic item that represents connection.
I once used on you to keep you in my pocket
Referencing a keepsake that holds sentimental value.
Then I'll lie in your arms, the nights rolled over
Imagining a moment of intimacy and comfort.
I'll see you in the morning
Looking forward to the continuation of the relationship.
