Oh, ooh, oh
High up in a chamber
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Oh, ooh, oh
Shadowed by a clock face
The hands arrested at the time she came and
When she peered outside
She saw the birds, so high
That she made a wish
To grow, one day, her own pair of wings
She sailed long from afar
To find herself in the world
When in the wind, she heard an island call
And so she followed it and came ashore
On a beach with a crowd
We waited hеre for you
Then a voice said it was truе
We all prayed for a princess
You're the one heaven sent
Oh, ooh, oh
High up in a chamber
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Oh, ooh, oh
Just to remember
For the memory got lost in the dark
Oh, ooh, oh
Shadowed by a clock face
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Though she showed the passing of the days
Eternally a child she would remain
Before she felt any fear
The air escaped into silence
She woke up lying on a gilded bed
With half a dozen maids around her
We're keeping you safe in a tall place
Where you can see all the land you lead for us
By God's decree
Hail to the girl, our Queen
As the nights ran
Together blurring into years
Her brushstrokes never disappeared
Oh, ooh, oh
High up in a chamber
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Oh, ooh, oh
Just to remember
For the memory got lost in the dark
Oh, ooh, oh
Shadowed by a clock face
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Though she showed the passing of the days
Eternally a child she would remain
Until one day when a clatter rang through the hills
They found her gone and a smashed-open windowsill
A feather hung in the air
And the once-stopped clock was ticking on
