The Life Of A Princess Lyrics & Chords By Antje Duvekot

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
