When Fairy Stories End
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When she smiled we were there
As we'd always been
For children will believe
In fairy tales and once upon a time
When she went to the ball
We were there to see it all
Then we were with her
We were together with each other
We were never alone
When she cried we were there
As we always were
We only want to share
Though happy endings never may come true
When she fled from the ball
The camera saw it all
Then we were with her
We were together
With each other
We were never, never alone
How we yearn, how we bleed
How we hunger, how we need
A God or goddess to be with us
To be the one we want to be
When she died we were there
As we'll always be when fairy stories end
Then we'll turn the page and find another one
Who will smile, who will cry
Who will dance for us and die
That we may come together, cry together
Hope and dream and sigh together
And never, never, never, never
Be alone
