Tell Me, Tell Me

by Sprite Guard

Tell me, tell me, can you show the way
To the Blue Haunt that stalks these woods
Tell me, tell me, can you show the way?

Sally sought the help of Hunter Gray
Longing for a challenge to face
Tell me, tell me, can you show the way?

Hunter said, "there's nothing you will find
Shadows are all, no substance there
It will only play tricks on your mind"

Sally said, "That's just what I need
To face what minds can't comprehend
So tell me, show me, can you take the lead."

Hunter said, "you may follow me
But where I wander, none may know
I cannot promise what you will see."

He tried hard to lead her astray
He tried to lead her back to home
He tried to lead her far away

And soon she saw the awful light
And soon she saw much more than that
The hunter's plan had failed just right

Tell me, tell me, you trickster god
What tricks will you now play on me?
Tell me, tell me, you trickster god!

What she heard next, she can't describe
What she saw there, she did not know
All she recalls is just the vibe

All things unknown were shown to her
And she looked long at all of it
What she saw caused her heart to stir

Then to Wander did Sally run
Lying listless in a clearing
Beneath the warm yet distant sun

Tell me, tell me, I have to know
Do you love me, could you ever
Tell me, tell me, I have to know

Wander wondered what she could say
How could someone have said these things
Speechless, stammering she turned away
