Shadow Dream Song

I meant to call her name

I meant to take her hand

I meant to be the same and understand

Just what was happening in the evening

Between the princess and the prince

But I can't be bothered now

And I cannot eat or drink

I can't remember how I used to think

What was the song she sang before the morning rang

And brought the princess to the prince

And it's a ringing crystal way

She has about her in my day

But she's a laughing dappled shadow

They're a laughing dappled shadow in my night

And if I could hear her voice

And if I could see her face

If I could have a choice, I'd be in the place

Well where I saw her last on the evening past

Of the princess and the prince

It's a ringing crystal way

She has about her in my day

But she's a laughing dappled shadow

A laughing dappled shadow in my night

I meant to call her name

I meant to take her hand

I meant to be the same and understand

Just what was happening in the evening

Between the princess and the prince
