Long-Forgotten Fairytale Songtext
von Avalon Emerson

Someone told me you′d be here
Whispering these familiar things
Talking to my little pet, smoking the same old cigarettes
I would have laughed
I saw you last in summertime
You said you hated long goodbyes
You said, "There's nothing to explain, in every life a little rain"
Etcetera

And a long-forgotten fairy tale is in your eyes again
And I′m caught inside a dream world where the colors are too intense
And nothing is making sense
There's a floating town of eiderdown in a mist of mystery
There's an old-enchanted castle and the princess there is me
Decked-out like a Christmas tree


I guess you′ve had your little joke
But I have lost my sense of humor
My medication′s wearing off, for it's just not strong enough
To cover this
And then you kissed me like before
I found myself wanting more
And then you tell that little lie
That kept me hypnotized
Another kiss

And a long-forgotten fairy tale is in your eyes again
And I′m caught inside a dream world where the colors are too intense
And nothing is making sense
There's a floating town of eiderdown in a mist of mystery
There′s an old-enchanted castle and the princess there is me
Decked-out like a Christmas tree

If someone told me, I'd succumb
If someone said, I′d be so dumb
After all the sleepless nights
When I turned on all the lights
I would have hit them
But I have turned the other cheek
My voice trembles, my knees are weak
And you beat me once again
And I know what happens then
You raise the ante


And a long-forgotten fairy tale is in your eyes again
And I'm caught inside a dream world where the colors are too intense
And nothing is making sense
There's a floating town of eiderdown in a mist of mystery
There′s an old-enchanted castle and the princess there is me
Decked-out like a Christmas tree
