She seemed like a ghost from the past The substance of which will not last And it seems I've known her five hundred years A princess frozen in time by a spell And the moonlight splashed on the water And she laughed as she played with the otter And the starlight danced in her eyes And the wind, whispered through her hair
And when I reached for her She was not there Perhaps if I pray hard enough The spell will be broken my ghost will take form She'll walk towards me, swirling mists at her feet She'll stretch out her arms, I'll hold out my hands And at last, we'll touch Like a ship lost at sea, then touching dry land
