When Fairy Stories End

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
