For All Seasons
Always
A princess was invited to an islandA king? s castle in the seaNo one came to take her suitcaseShe waited in the garden outsideThe guests inside were dressed for the waterBut the princess remained outside aloneAnd the king who had called her his precious flowerWould not grant her a room of her ownShe was young and frightenedBy the glittering wealth and she wonderedIf she? d be allowed to stayBut she slipped herself into the sea andSwimming, naked, all the crystalLovely, dancing waves were hersAnd whispered, "I am here, yes, I am always"The king was angered by such indecencyHe sent his soldiers to pull her outHer foot met something sharp on the ocean floorBut still she did not want to leaveShe saw the king, and she saw with himThat the island was not her homeSongtexteShe could not live her life like the rest of his courtShe needed a room of her ownBut she slipped herself into the sea andSwimming, naked, all the crystal,Lovely, dancing waves were hers andWhispered, "I am here, yes, I am""Always, always, always, I amAlways, always, always, I am, always"The castle still stands there on the islandBut the king and his court are aloneAnd his beautiful, precious flowerHas swum away to a room of her ownShe slipped herself into the sea andSwimming, naked, all the crystalLovely, dancing waves were hers andWhispered, "I am here, yes, I am""Always, always, always, I amAlways, always, always, I amAlways, always, always, I amAlways, always, always, I am"
