She's locked up with a spinning wheel
|
She can't recall what it was like to feel
|
She says, 'This room's gonna be my grave
|
And there is no one who can save me.'
|
She sits down to her coloured thread
|
She knows lovers waking up in their bed
|
She says, 'How long can I live this way
|
Is there no on I can pay to let me go
|
'Cause I'm half sick of shadows
|
I wanna see the sky
|
Everyone else can watch as the sun goes down
|
So why can't I
|
|
And it's raining
|
And the stars are falling from the sky
|
And the wind
|
And the wind I know it's cold
|
I've been waiting
|
For the day I will surely die
|
And it's here
|
And it's here for I've been told
|
That I'll die before I'm old
|
And the wind I know it's cold...
|
|
She looks up to the mirrored glass
|
She sees a handsome horse and rider pass
|
She say, 'That man's gonna be my death
|
'Cause he's all I ever wanted in my life
|
And I know he doesn't know my name
|
And that all the girls are all the same to him
|
But still I've got to get out of this place
|
'Cause I don't think I can face another night
|
Where I'm half sick of shadows
|
And I can't see the sky
|
Everyone else can watch as the tide comes in
|
So why can't I
|
|
And it's raining
|
And the stars are falling from the sky
|
And the wind
|
And the wind I know it's cold
|
I've been waiting
|
For the day I will surely die
|
And it's here
|
And it's here for I've been told
|
That I'll die before I'm old
|
And the wind I know it's cold...
|
|
But there's willow trees
|
And little breezes, waves and walls and flowers
|
And there's moonlight every single night
|
As I'm locked in these towers
|
So I'll meet my death
|
But with my last breath I'll sing to him I love
|
And he'll see my face in another place
|
And with that the glass above.'
|
|
Cracked into a million bits
|
And she cried out, 'So the story fit
|
But then I could have guessed it all along
|
'Cause now some drama queen is gonna write a song for me.'
|
She went down to her little boat
|
And she broke the chains and began to float away
|
And as the blood froze in her veins she said,
|
'Well then that explains a thing or two
|
'Cause I know I'm the cursed one
|
I know I'm meant to die
|
Everyone else can watch as their dreams untie
|
So why can't I
|
|
And it's raining
|
And the stars are falling from the sky
|
And the wind
|
And the wind I know it's cold
|
I've been waiting
|
For the day I will surely die
|
And it's here
|
And it's here
|
And it's here
|
And it's here
|
And it's here
|
It's finally here
|
|
And it's raining
|
And the stars are falling from the sky
|
And the wind
|
And the wind I know it's cold
|
I've been waiting
|
For the day I will surely die
|
And it's here
|
And it's here for I've been told
|
That I'll die before I'm old
|
And the wind I know it's cold...
