and the story begins.....

The Paperback Princess

Once upon a time:
In a world that never was
And a land that has always been,
There lived a princess on a rock
In someplace right inbetween

She could swim like a fish
And fly just like a swan
She can fill your heart with longing
With an eerie wordless song
And she'll weave you a brilliant arras
Of the loveliest fairytale
That has no beginning
And has yet to find an end

But first you'll have to find her
And journey beyond your walls
Out into the land of dreams
She's the one who waits for you
For dreamers will always dream

The story she'll tell you is her own
A story from this world and the next
A tale of a journey, and a treasure
Found and then lost and found again
A tale of sorrow and love
And of love and sorrow

If you listen very carefully
You'll see just why she waits
A solitary figure, a lost soul
Caught between a world that never was
And a land that has always been
