Princess

Intro There's a little girl in Skibbereen, with flowing hair and ragged jeans And floating in a vivid dream, as classes go by And every day at 3 o'clock, she's out the door and down the block And hurries to the river dock, a gleam in her eyes And everything's fine for the day There's nothing to get in the way of her smile There's never a care for tomorrow Cuz Molly's a princess today Ohhh...la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la The barricade's a castle wall, 47 miles tall The river's got a waterfall, the moat is so deep The cedar trees are canopies, a ceiling made of needle leaves A buzzing fleet of honeybees is guarding the keep And no one can take this away What lives in her mind will remain there to stay There's never a care for tomorrow Cuz Molly's a princess today Ohhh...la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la Real life can be lifeless and cold When your heart grows up and gets old The dreams of your past never seem to quite last In a future that's so far away But here in the place, you know Molly… is a princess today In little while, it's dinnertime, she leaves the kingdom in her mind A bookmark in the storyline, a chapter is done The mystery of what will be, tomorrow, when the clock strikes three There beneath the cedar trees, the princess will come And there's nothing that she couldn't do When she closes her eyes, and imagines the view There's never a care for tomorrow Cuz Molly's a princess today Yeah, there's never a care for tomorrow Cuz Molly's a princess today Ohhh...la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la
