|
A princess was invited to an island- |
|
A king's castle in the sea |
|
No one came to take her suitcase |
|
She waited in the garden outside |
|
The guests inside were dressed for the water |
|
But the princess remained outside alone |
|
And the king who had called her |
|
His precious flower |
|
Would not grant her a room of her own |
|
She was young and frightened |
|
By the glittering wealth, and she wondered |
|
If she'd be allowed to stay... |
|
But she slipped herself into the sea and |
|
Swimming, naked, all the crystal, |
|
Lovely, dancing waves were hers and |
|
Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am always" |
|
The king was angered by such indecency |
|
He sent his soldiers to pull her out |
|
Her foot met something sharp on the ocean floor |
|
But still she did not want to leave |
|
She saw the king, and she saw with him |
|
That the island was not her home |
|
She could not live her life |
|
Like the rest of his court- |
|
She needed a room of her own |
|
But she slipped herself into the sea and |
|
Swimming, naked, all the crystal, |
|
Lovely, dancing waves were hers and |
|
Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am... |
|
Always, always, always, I am |
|
Always, always, always, I am, always" |
|
The castle still stands there on the island, |
|
But the king and his court are alone |
|
And his beautiful, precious flower |
|
Has swum away to a room of her own |
|
She slipped herself into the sea and |
|
Swimming, naked, all the crystal, |
|
Lovely, dancing waves were hers and |
|
Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am... |
|
Always, always, always, I am |
|
Always, always, always, I am |
|
Always, always, always, I am |
|
Always, always, always, I am" |
