The Damsel

The Damsel

There's damsel in a Tower
a dark and gloomy place
a window and a mirror
that show's a tired face.

Her door is made of iron
a window is her light
her hero's by the locked door
the door he tries to fight.

She looks out of her window
and calls out with a cry
her hero's looking back up
and ask's the question 'why' ?

The damsel yearns her hero
to come to set her free
again he pounds the iron
but damsel... has the key' !
