The Life of a Princess - Antje Duvekot

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
