There was a little girl So tiny and petite All dressed in black and sorrow songs She lived among the beasts Crawled and begged to share in their feast A tiny piece of petal scrap But nothing was she offered So she lived on the infrequent kisses of the wind All dressed up in ropes and tears They kept her to the ground Åh lilla flickan min Kom, stanna inte kvar Sprid ut klänningen Lyft upp ögonen Titta nu vad fin du är Du är en drottning du I silke och pergament Sprid ut vingarna Solen dig genomfly Jag skall lyfta dig mot skyn But that little girl So tied up in those ropes She twisted and turned They'd only burn her thin and delicate skin The wind would soothe her wounds And lift her spirit up to the moon But then one day Like lightning from the sky With feathers made of fire Would land beside her a gentleman offering a kiss And he would wrap around that girl Just like a fire And burn away the ropes Oh sky dancer Come and dance with me You are a bird of summer winds and lightness My feathers made with fire Dance and fly high So come and share this dance with me in the sky
