A prince in the summer was a drag in the spring. |
|
How could you know that he took off his ring? |
|
And, every thing you wanted behind the castle wall. |
|
And, a hundred white horses were stuck in the stall. |
|
It's no fairy tale, there's no breadcrumb trail |
|
To lead you back, that's just as well. |
|
That's a better one to tell. |
|
You tried, but, you can't bear the weight of the glitter and the glue. |
|
So, you lie down and dream of the kiss that would wake you. |
|
And, once upon a time can lead to a hapless ever after. |
|
And, when the tears are real, so is the laughter. |
|
It's no fairy tale, there's no breadcrumb trail to lead you back, |
|
But, it's just as well. |
|
You can close the book and curse the turn it took. |
|
And, tell the true story of how you felt. |
|
That's a better one to tell. |
|
And, when it's told the leaves are turning red and gold. |
|
And, no one had to come along and cast the spell. |
|
It's no fairy tale, there's no breadcrumb trail |
|
To lead you back, but, it's just as well. |
|
And, you can close the book and curse the turn it took. |
|
Tell the true story of how you fell. |
|
That's a better one to tell. |
|
That's a better one to tell. |
