Or anywhere else you love music
Moonlight dances on her silken veil
Tiny fingers brush the window pane
Seven years of gilded halls and tales
Stir restless dreams she can't explain
A glowing wisp beyond the eaves
Beckons softly through the leaves
Bare feet slippers leave behind
She follows where the wisp will wind
She drops her rubies in the dew
Like ev'ry tear she ever knew
Rings fall from fingers to the ground
Like ev'ry promise of her crown
No royal weight rests on her brow
She roams free with the faeries now
She placed her crown upon a stone
Its golden arcs left all alone
She un-threads ribbons from her hair
Each woven braid now loose and fair
Her locks untamed float in the breeze
Her footsteps falling through the trees
No royal warder left to please
Just whispered lore and woodland ease
She unties laces in her gown
The satin falls without a sound
At last she wears her nature's gift
She dances as her spirits lift
Royal ballrooms lose the race
With magic and the forest's pace
She drops her rubies in the dew
Like ev’ry tear she ever knew
Rings fall from fingers to the ground
Like ev’ry promise of her crown
No royal weight rests on her brow
She roams free with the faeries now
Now wisp and grove and breath are one
Her song entwines with wind and sun
No absent queen, no chosen one
In woodland arms, her fate is spun
