Long-forgotten Fairytale by Magnetic Fields
Long-forgotten Fairytale
Verse 1
C
If someone told me you'd be here
Am
whispering these familiar things
G
talking to my little pets
smoking the same old cigarettes
C
I would have laughed
Verse 2
C
I saw you last in summertime
Am
You said you hated long goodbyes
G
You said there's nothing to explain
in every life a little rain
C
et cetera
Chorus
C F C
And a long-forgotten fairytale
F C G
is in your eyes again
C F C
and I'm caught inside a dream world
F C G
where the colors are too intense
C
and nothing is making sense
F C
There's a floating town of eiderdown
F C G
in a mist of mystery
C F C
There's an old enchanted castle
F C G
and the princess there is me
C
decked out like a Christmas tree

version 2
I guess you've had your little joke
but I have lost my sense of humor
My medication's wearing off
or it's just not strong enough
to cover this
and then you kiss me like before
and I find myself wanting more
and you tell that little lie
that kept me hypnotized:
another kiss...
And a long-forgotten fairytale
is in your eyes again
and I'm caught inside a dream world
where the colors are too intense
and nothing is making sense
There's a floating town of eiderdown
in a mist of mystery
There's an old enchanted castle
and the princess there is me
decked out like a Christmas tree
If someone told me I'd succumb
If someone said I'd be so dumb
after all the sleepless nights
when I turned on all the lights
I would have hit them
but I have turned the other cheek
My voice trembles, my knees are weak
and you beat me once again
and I know what happens then:
you raise the ante...
And a long-forgotten fairytale
is in your eyes again
and I'm caught inside a dream world
where the colors are too intense
and nothing is making sense
