Where the Words Fade Away

Twist the hands of the clock

Backward a thousand times

Step into the shadows

On a moonlit night

Hide under the blanket

With your flashlight

Turn the pages

‘til sleep envelopes you

Dance on the edges

Where the words fade away

Slip through the pages

Deeper into the story

Take on a new name

Throw off your ragged jeans

Slip into the outfit

Hanging in the wardrobe

Walk down the castle steps

Woo the handsome prince

Steal him from the fair maiden

Toss her in the dungeon

Boldly control the storyline

Every twist and turn

Before the morning sun rises

Erase your name from the book

And fade away

For a thousand years
