Cowboys Junkies - Fairytale lyrics

rate me

There's a rock and a field and a dirty sky.

I'm still as corpse, I'm content as a bride,

thoughts of you and those flyin' shoes

all around me.

One wrong step and it's a long way down

so I triple check the hand holds, stand on firmer ground,

but it's not so easy when the whole mountain is

coming down on you.

So we wait for the morning when we'll stumble on the truth

Failed to recognize it, as we're digging at its roots,

the sorrow and the anger that we've sown

in the fields all around us.

Hook:

Hey little princess, hey little pea,

come down from your tower and dance with me.

Yah, you're the fairest one in the land

Try on this glass slipper and give me your hand.

There's a rock and a field and a collapsing sky.

I'm precious as a snowman, fragile as a lie,

thoughts of you and those flyin' shoes all around me.

I'm afraid of the anger of the hard twisted heart

that beats in the chests of those who are caught

in the ruins of the lives of those all around them.

I'm sick of the blood and I'm sick of the bleeding,

the effort it takes just to keep on dreaming

of better days, and better ways

of living.

Hook: X2

Hey little princess, hey little pea,

come down from your tower and dance with me.

Yah, you're the fairest one in the land

Try on this glass slipper and give me your hand.
