Sunset At The Standing Stones

πŸŒœπŸ¦‰πŸ›οΈπŸŒ„πŸ›οΈπŸ¦‰πŸŒ›

The Standing Stones Bathed In Golden Light

As The Sun Is Setting Shadows Fall

The Fox Is Watching The Owls In Flight

The Sun Goes Down, Here Cometh The Night

The Fox Is Still, As The Darkness Draws

The Standing Stones Bathed In Golden Light

The Stones Are Framed, A Beautiful Sight

From Far Above They Can Hear The Call

The Fox Is Watching The Owls In Flight

This Magical Place Of Earthly Might

Where A Spell Is Cast, A Leyline Drawn

The Standing Stones Bathed In Golden Light

On This Hill, The Stones Make All Things Right

Where Mystics Will Come When Nature Calls

The Fox Is Watching The Owls In Flight

The Sun Has Gone Down, Now Is Old Night

And To Their Shelters All Are Recalled

The Standing Stones Bathed In Golden Light
