The Princess and the Thief @2017 Larry Ahearn, Joe Haran

Once upon a time, there was a princess
She fell in to the arms of the good thief
He was looking for an easy way to heaven
She was simply looking there for some relief
The princess caught the thief
I've got these walls, the ceiling and the floor
I've got this feeling that I've never had before
I've got this feeling that I don't have you ... anymore

Once upon a time I was a sailor
Took us both across a stormy sea
We all wondered where those winds of change had come from
I looked at you, and you looked back at me
The sailor said, "you see ...
That's wing wind from a falling angels whispering in your ear
That you're running from the truth and every other thing you fear
I've got this feeling that you won't be back here anymore"

And while we're counting time there was a dealer
He told us all he had the only key
The finest and the fastest transportation
He said he had the final remedy
The dealer had the key
and I've got these walls, the ceiling and the floor
I've got this mirror, the hallway and the door
I've got this feeling that I don't have you ... anymore

But the Princess and the Thief was just a story
The sailor never came back from the sea
and the dealer left us all behind for glory
and as he left I caught him looking for the key
...looking back at me
and I've got these walls, the ceiling and the floor
I've got this feeling that I've never had before
I've got this feeling that I don't have you
I've got this feeling that I don't have you ... anymore
