Cinder Girl
I rebelled and ran
To a fairy tale dream
I wear a disguise
Cuz I'm not what I seem.
The colors and lights, oh
They melted away
As I met your eyes
And I heard my heart say
In this world I know not fear
Catch me, now I'm falling
Soul-deep cries to bring you near
Can you hear me calling?
You ask for a dance
And I stutter, you smile.
I blush and I say
'Baby, just for a while.
See, you are a prince
From this magical dream,
And I wear a mask
For I'm not what I seem.'
We dance until midnight
Then I have to fly.
I say, 'Darlin, I love you,
But this is goodbye.
For now it's my curfew
And I must away.
But find me tomorrow,
And we'll fly away.'
Cuz In your arms I feel no fear
Catch me, cuz I'm falling
Soul-deep cries to bring you near
Can you hear me calling?
They found me, they found me.
In the attic I'm holed.
It's dark and it's lonely,
And I am so cold.
They clipped my new wings, oh
They've locked me away.
Oh, love, come and find me,
I'm fading away.
I'm losing all hope
I can't feel anymore.
If you cage a wild bird
Will it sing anymore?
I shudder and keen
And I wait to be tamed
When I suddenly hear
Your voice calling my name.
You found me and held me
You didn't let go.
And now we are here
In this dream spun of gold.
Free from the ashes
We'll finally fly
Beyond the horizon,
The moon, and the sky.
