Cowboy Junkies - Fairytale lyrics

There's a rock and a field and a dirty sky. I'm still as corpse, I'm content as a bride, Thoughts of you and those flyin' shoes All around me. One wrong step and it's a long way down So I triple check the hand holds, stand on firmer ground, But it's not so easy when the whole mountains Coming down on you. So we wait for the morning when we'll stumble on the truth. Probably fail to recognize it, as we're digging at its roots, The sorrow and the anger that we've sown In the fields all around us. Hey little princess, hey little pea, Come down from your tower and dance with me. Yah you're the fairest one in the land. Try on this gla** slipper and give me your hand. There's a rock and a field and a collapsing sky. I'm precious as a snowman, fragile as a lie, Thoughts of you and those flyin' shoes All around me. I'm afraid of the anger of the hard twisted heart That beats in the chests of those that are caught In the ruins of the lives of those All around them. I'm sick of the blood and I'm sick of the bleeding, The effort it takes just to keep on dreaming Of better days, and better ways Of living. Hey little princess, hey little pea, Come down from your tower and dance with me. Yah, you're the fairest one in the land. Try on this gla** slipper and give me your hand. Hey little princess, hey little pea, Come down from your tower and dance with me Yah, you're the fairest one in the land. Try on this gla** slipper and give me your hand.
