Antje Duvekot - The Life of a Princess lyrics

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 Chorus 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 Chorus 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 Chorus 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
