The Life of a Princess

Everyone envies the life of a princess
 But no one knows how cold it gets
 Inside a stone castle, especially at night,
 When the servants go home and the fire dies
 And way beyond the drawbridge
 The lights flicker brightly
 Down in the pubs of the town
 And she pictures the dance, she imagines the song
 And the stairs to her chamber have never seemed longer
 And i
 Will fight my battles in person
 But i will not be crippled
 By dreams that have withered and died
 When nobody was watching
 I will not be crippled by dreams
 On the banks of the river clyde
 Lies the wreckage of a boat
 Her bow ground away by the waves
 She was carrying sugar is how the tale goes
 When her sweetness was lost to the deep blue below
 And i
 Will fight my battles in person
 But i will not be crippled
 By dreams that have withered and died
 When nobody was watching
 I will not be crippled by dreams
 I know too many places and too many faces
 And too many ways to say goodbye
 When you're one part water and two parts air
 You run into the danger that you could disappear
 And i
 Will fight my battles in person
 But i will not be crippled
 By dreams that have withered and died
 When nobody was watching
 I will not be crippled by dreams
