Jake E Lee wrote Jade's Song for his daughter, way back when -- it's very short, but I've always really enjoyed it.
Huge, Super-Important Caveat: As soon as you hit the "play" button, please turn away from the screen, minimize it, close your eyes, whatever. Whoever posted this put up a picture of some heavy-metal hero -- I can't even tell if it's actually Jake -- trying to eat his guitar. It completely ruins an otherwise good song -- don't know what this guy was thinking.

I venture into a dreamland where I am living on the edge
Where I am living I am living I am living right on the edge
& where I am the chameleon
& so I am the moonfaced flower child
I am the moonfaced flower child I am So take me to the courtyard made of water
& make your point by pointing out the letters in the stars
Sister, show me Cassiopeia I venture into a dreamland where I am playing a glass guitar
& there’s a raver by the pear tree at the far end of the courtyard
By the well
I sing the old songs to the dogs
& I’m afraid that they can see right through me I’ll prove how much I love you with this handstand
I can breathe under the water, I can hear your muffled laughter
I can feel you coming through the walls & when we ran
We ran through the rain
You took me up the stairwell & back down again
I was lying around with chameleons—I was hanging around with bitches
I heard that there’s a war on & I’m sure that they’re not with us
No no no no no... I was hanging out in the tower
The tower overlooked the sea
I saw him check the girl for fever
By pushing all his fingers through her skin
He’s just reading her mind…
I venture into a dreamland where I can say this & you’ll believe I’ve been here before…
I know your face from the last time I dreamt I was losing control
I was lying around with chameleons—I was hanging around with bitches
I heard that there’s a war on & I’m sure that they’re not with us
No no no no no... All through the sky all
Over the ground
I was looking for you
When the rain came down It’s on the rise I was flying in a spiral down
I was trying to find a good way to hit the ground All through the sky all
Over the ground
I was looking for you You were dipping in the water
Like a beauty
Did you think about your man out in the whirlpool sea? Above the dirty harbor water
Half a mile from the shore
A cannon fell out of the sky
Now it sits upon the dirty ocean floor The girls, all ready in their swimsuits
They are sitting on the pier
I will swim to them like a fish
I have ridden on these waves
I will be there in no time at all... I have ridden on these waves
I have crashed into the shore
I have rolled along the dirty ocean floor In the dirty harbor water
Half a mile from the shore
I hear the feedback from the drum
I hear a voice say that it hates my heart I was hanging out in the tower
The tower overlooked the sea
I saw him blowing on a horn to serenade his woman
He was pushing out the air with his machine
He’s just reading her mind...
I saw him push his fingers through her skin I venture into a dreamland where the waves have come alive
& I watch them chase the people down the beach
But they are bound to the water
Like creatures on a leash I have ridden on these waves
I have crashed into the shore
I have rolled along the floor
I will be there in no time at all... &
I have ridden on these waves
I have crashed into the shore
I have rolled along the dirty ocean floor &
I have been here before...
I know your face from the last time I dreamt I was losing control
I’ve been lying around with chameleons—I’ve been hanging around with bitches
I heard that there’s a war on & I’m sure that they’re not with us
No no no no no... I venture into a dreamland where I have raced upon the water
Once against a girl & once against my father
The waves will angle into hills of icy mountains
& we will run our boats upon the glass I venture into a dreamland of hidden orchards and dark black trees
The branches are shown to me for my inspection
I will chop them down, to pay off the hit-man
But we have to wait, man, till all the black animals are gone There are two houses on the mountain
I put my hand into the fire—I don’t know who lit the fire
But I’d like to keep the small house for myself Where I am the chameleon & so I am the moonfaced flower child
I am the moonfaced flower child I am
I venture into a dreamland, where I am living on the edge
Where I am living I am living I am living right on the edge The courtyard & the café are black
I am wearing 3 or 4 black coats
It’s dark on the stairs but it could be darker
I am waiting for the fairies to kill the lights and chew the walls They take too long, they take too long
On my way back down the stairs they are gone
I have waited for their song
& now they’re feral & transformed
Into animals that scatter from the sun I am making hissing sounds with my mouth...

Lyrics to By Way Of Sorrow :
You've been taken by the wind,
You have known the kiss of sorrow,
Doors that would not take you in,
Outcast and a stranger.
You have come by way of sorrow, you have come by way of tears,
But you'll reach the destiny meant to find you all these years,
Meant to find you all these years.
You have drunk a bitter wine with none to be your comfort,
You who once were left behind will be welcome at love's table.
You have come by way of sorrow, you have take a long way home,
But the love that waits for, you will someday come to know,
You will one day come to know.
All the nights that joy has slept will awake to days of laughter,
Gone the tears that you have wept,
You'll dance in freedom ever after.
You have come by way of sorrow, you've come over a stony ground,
But when love calls out your name, you will lay you burden down,
You will lay you burden down.
You have come by way of sorrow, you have come by way of tears,
But you'll reach the destiny meant to find you all these years,
Meant to find you all these years

Saw this video on Youtube and thought I would share.
Being that I love Loreena Mckennitt's music it was such a treat to find a concert video. Then saw that there was the Mummers Dance and thought of the circle dances mentioned on the forum.
Enjoy. There are many more Youtube videos of this performance.
Edit: P.S. Also love all the celtic instruments her band uses.

I sat yesterday and watched all the videos from this concert. It was fabulous.
I love the Celtic/Middle Eastern mix of this piece.

A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then, it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
