This is an original song that I played a couple weeks ago at an open mike night.

Lyrics:

You took a wrong turn, but you ended up all right
Newly awakened like day from night
Don't let this place confound you
There's amazing people all around you

My name is Tessaly Bligh
You may catch a glimpse as I pass by
My shape doesn't hold the eye
I step between the photons of the afternoon sunlight
And you perceive me as a whispering sky

You ask today a question from your Glade of Solitude
And I might answer if I'm in the mood
No matter how you try for private reverie
You just can't hide half as good as me

You've stepped over into my world now, welcome, welcome, welcome
You're no longer on the journey that you planned on
And all your map reads is "Here Be Dragons"

Pleased to meet you, I'm Callister McGee
Got flowers growing from the back of my knee
All those shoots and tendrils yearning to be free
They reach out for the soil greedily
I'm gonna plant this world like Johnny Appleseed

You've stepped over into my world now, welcome, welcome, welcome
There's something growing from the very spot you stand on
And the whispering sky tells you "Here Be Dragons"

They call me Shaky Wilson for the tremor in my hands
I'm palsied and I'm piebald and I'm hard to understand
I shiver up the molecules till time and space expand
And open up a doorway, takes you right to distant lands
Would you like to climb a mountain now, or laze upon the sands?

Horace Wilkie and Tabitha Beam
Play their erotic games inside your dreams
Your most unsavory desires are not quite what they seem
It's just them in your psyche letting off some steam
And when you wake up, they smile with eyes a-gleam

The world's a bigger place now than it was this morning
Reality took half a twist without any warning
There's nymphs in the woodlands and satyrs in the fields
An entrance to another realm hitherto concealed
And your suitcase is lying by the side of the road abandoned
As you wait for your first glimpse of the unicorns and dragons
