Fairy Tale - David Coutant - Lyrics
Fairy Tale I asked for the hand of the sweetest in the land and she stared frozen at me When she got control of her tongue once more this is what she said to me "No one ever speaks to me" she said "No one dares get near to me "No one's ever asked me a question before to give me a chance to agree" To give me a chance to agree I asked her if she would come walk with me across the sand and the lawn She looked around and made not a sound and wondered what was going on "No one's ever invited me" she said "I've never walked but alone "How do we do it? Do I lead or do I follow? "And how do we know when we're done?" And how do we know when we're done? I took her to the shore and we talked some more She mostly listened and smiled With the sunrise I blinked my eyes and found I was alone all the while No one ever listens to me I guess No one was there at all Nobody walks with me, nobody cares ...
