I meant to call her name I meant to take her hand I meant to be the same and understand Just what was happening in the evening Between the princess and the prince I can't be bothered now And I can't eat or drink I can't remember how I used to think What was the song she sang before the morning rang Bringing the princess to the prince It's a crystal ringing way She has about her in the day
But she's a laughing dappled shadow She's a laughing dappled shadow in my night If I could hear her voice If I could see her face If I could have my choice I'd be in the place Where I saw her last on the evening past Of the princess and the prince It's a crystal ringing way She has about her in the day But she's a laughing dappled shadow She's a laughing dappled shadow in my night
