Таллис, Ансамбль Воображаемых Музыкантов - A Dragon For Each Princess

I'm a princess by fate.
For my dragon I wait.
I reject all the princes who come to my gate.
Ancient laws all say
that it should be this way,
and a dragon must carry
a princess away.
Every princess like a princess gets a fairy tale just right.
It's just me without a monster who can fill the world with fright.
People snicker right behind me.
People laugh behind my back. Every princess like a princess.
I'm not sure what I lack.
And over glassy lakes below me and mountains high and perilous I fly.
I fly so freely that I hardly even breathe.
Oh, carry me, reptilian, to distant lands mysterious.
A dragon for each princess on the castle wall I leave.
A dragon for each princess
on the castle wall I leave. I gave up on the wait,
but he came rather late. And he said he is T.
Rexosaurus the Great. Why'd it take him so long?
Well, the reason was strong. With his species, it seems wings just don't come along.
Every princess like a princess.
It was just my luck to find the unique non-flying dragon.
I would say one of a kind. "Sorry, princess, it looks hopeless." "Oh no, Rex, you're staying here.
If you're meant to be non-flying, then I'll simply ride you, dear."
And over glassy lakes below me and mountains high and perilous I ride.
I ride so freely that I hardly even breathe.
Oh, carry me, reptilian, to distant lands mysterious.
A dragon for each princess on the castle wall I leave.
A dragon for each princess
on the castle wall I leave.
I'm a princess by fate. In my tower I stayed.
For a prince I was waiting,
but they all were afraid
of my Rex. Not a soul could get past him at all.
Still my life is quite normal, but at night I recall.
Every princess like a princess
can enchant a handsome knight.
Only I, it seems, forever here alone must spend each night.
Rex's side became a human.
Wouldn't I do just as well?
I would say I look more royal than those wimps do, can't you tell?
And over glassy lakes below me and mountains high and perilous I fly.
I fly so freely that I hardly even breathe.
Oh, carry me, reptilian, to distant lands mysterious.
A dragon for each princess on the castle wall I leave.
A dragon for each princess on the castle wall I leave.
In married life to fly is not a critical ability.
My Rex is strong and caring, and I think he's pretty cool.
And if the genes of both of us can prove compatibility, one day the half-reptilians will take the world and
rule.
