A Fairytale

Once, I was so confused, beaten, broke and used
Now, I'm just living like a clown leading a flock of gypsy nouns
Who all believe in me and say they'll follow me
beyond the realm of here and now
Yeah I guess I'm just substantively
leading a flock of gypsy nouns beyond the here and now
I left my fear somehow at the bottom of a barrel of dread and doubt

Then on the day before I died I looked deep into your eyes
As you stood on the platform quite stagy
You were sweating from head to knee
A query yields a name
My reply was kind but lame
like waiting for the Sun to rise then wax and wane

I'm in a fairytale chasing a fairy's tail
I need a fairy

I did Brobdingnagian feats for you
Everything I knew how to do
Until you graced me with the time of day and a piece of mind
And when you took my name
I swore we'd live a life of fame and fortune
High above the Appalachian mountain range

I'm in a fairytale chasing a fairy's tail
I need a fairy
