Tell me a story

Tell me
Tell me a story
Tell me a tale, that’s not yet been told

A tale of a princess
Sittin’ in distress
Rescued by someone, who’s brave and bold

Turn the page over
To the next chapter
Let’s watch a new act
And, a new scene

Pull open the curtain
Reveal the illusion
‘Cos I think we’re driftin’ through
Somebody’s dream

You keep spinnin’ a story
The same old yarn
But I must admit
It is keepin’ me warm
Keep spinnin’ your story
Like it’s made of golden thread
Don’t ever let it end
Until the day I am dead

Tell me
Tell me your journey
Have you had as many ups, as the downs

Have you suffered fools
‘Cos there’s many of them
Wolves in sheep’s clothing, some dressed as clowns

Have you heard the story?
Of hope and glory
Or does tragedy
Make you sad

Oh, don’t worry
It’s like comedy
Sometimes the good things
Mirror the bad
You keep spinnin’ a story
The same old yarn
But I must admit
It is keepin’ me warm
Keep spinnin’ your story
Like it’s made of golden thread
Don’t ever let it end
Until the day I am dead

Warlocks and wizards
Castles on clouds
Magic mirrors
Hero’s unavowed

Life’s just a fable
Life is a tale
We’re hailin’ the hero
Hopin’ they won’t fail

But do all stories
Have a happy ending
When there are tragedies
To which we must swing

How will we know
That it turns out alright
When, in every show
There are villains that fright

You keep spinnin’ a story
The same old yarn
But I must admit
It is keepin’ me warm
Keep spinnin’ your story
Like it’s made of golden thread
Don’t ever let it end
Until the day I am dead
