The Fairy Tale That Failed Lyrics

Susan Scully The Fairy Tale That Failed

Once upon a time, that’s how it began
A little fairy tale by the story-teller man
The knights knew how to wear their shining armour well
Fairy godmothers talking to mirrors

How am I going to tell another fairy tale
That the happy ending failed?
The fairest of them all left to stand alone
While the charming prince he sailed far away

No one to impress the damsel in distress
Talking animals will speak only to themselves
The hero lost his way when he used spirits’ aid
Goblins, witches, trolls – guardians of good souls

How am I going to tell another fairy tale
That the happy ending failed?
The fairest of them all left to stand alone
While the charming prince he sailed far away
