I meant to call her name
I meant to take her hand
I meant to be the same and understand
Just what was happening in the evening
Between the princess and the prince
I can't be bothered now
And i can't eat or drink
I can't remember how i used to think
What was the song she sang before the morning rang
Bringing the princess to the prince
It's a crystal ringing way
She has about her in the day
But she's a laughing dappled shadow
She's a laughing dappled shadow in my night
If i could hear her voice
If i could see her face
If i could have my choice i'd be in the place
Where i saw her last on the evening past
Of the princess and the prince
It's a crystal ringing way
She has about her in the day
But she's a laughing dappled shadow
She's a laughing dappled shadow in my night
