Cloud drapped prison
A thousand castles high
Shattered glass slippers
Dancing in the ivory towered sky
No noble prince lays below
To save this damsel in distress
Empty arms grasping empty air
Longing for a warm caress
Where is this missing piece?
Is he lost in the cold night?
A courageous hero
Who won't succumb to fright?
Perhaps he has passed the tower
Time and time again
But never looked up above
To see what the sky may contain
Perhaps he has seen the light
High above his head
And the thought of reaching up so high
Filled his heart with dread
Perhaps he was too weak
To reach among the clouds
Instead leaving her alone
Where solitude often shrouds
So there the princess sits
On her lonesome throne
Fawning over empty space in empty arms
Not knowing she's better off all alone
