Gather 'round and hear my story
Though it's sad and filled with woe
'Bout a Fairy Princess on a
hill and her love down below
Wizard king would not approve of
mixing mortal blood with kin
Told his daughter that to love this
man was nothing but a sin
Fairy Princess wept so hard
the skies they rained for days on end
and her love, he heard her wailing
vowed to go to her again
Upon entering the kingdom
he did find a fence so high
Wizard King had built it up to
reach the clouds within the sky
Come next morning an alarm
was sounded 'round the kingdom wide
Caught beneath the kingdom's fence
a man was found who'd drowned and died
No one ever knew if her love
drowned on going out or in
and the Fairy Princess in her
grief was never seen again
She had turned them both to water
lilies floating in the pond
They'll forever be together
not in this world but beyond.
