The Princess and the Clock

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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" [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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" [Bridge] As the nights ran Together blurring into years Her brushstrokes never disappeared [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
