A Thousand Years and a Day
She said I'll sleep for a
thousand years more in a glass
box fit for a fairy tail queen
Until all the stars fall from the
sky and the moon crashed and
kisses the bleeding sea
When all the kings horses and
all the kings men grow weary
and old and drop to their death
Dreaming and wishing the
world away the sun will soon
forget to bring me a new day
My name would be lost among
the whispering willows my story
never told to any only my face
a distant memory
I left a note that says don't
look for me there isn't a key
She said ill sleep for a thousand
years more if only for a day
