The Princess and the Clock
Kero Kero Bonito
[Chorus]
Oh, ooh, oh
High up in a chamber
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Oh, ooh, oh
Shadowed by a clock face
The hands arrested at the time she came and
When she peered outside
She saw the birds, so high
That she made a wish
To grow, one day, her own pair of wings

[Verse 1]
She sailed long from afar
To find herself in the world
When in the wind, she heard an island call
And so she followed it and came ashore
On a beach with a crowd
"We waited hеre for you"
Then a voice said it was truе
"We all prayed for a princess
You're the one heaven sent"
[Chorus]
Oh, ooh, oh
High up in a chamber
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Oh, ooh, oh
Just to remember
For the memory got lost in the dark
Oh, ooh, oh
Shadowed by a clock face
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Though she showed the passing of the days
Eternally a child she would remain

[Verse 2]
Before she felt any fear
The air escaped into silence
She woke up lying on a gilded bed
With half a dozen maids around her
"We're keeping you safe in a tall place
Where you can see all the land you lead for us
By God's decree
Hail to the girl, our Queen"

[Bridge]
As the nights ran
Together blurring into years
Her brushstrokes never disappeared
[Chorus]
Oh, ooh, oh
High up in a chamber
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Oh, ooh, oh
Just to remember
For the memory got lost in the dark
Oh, ooh, oh
Shadowed by a clock face
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Though she showed the passing of the days
Eternally a child she would remain

[Outro]
Until one day when a clatter rang through the hills
They found her gone and a smashed-open windowsill
A feather hung in the air
And the once-stopped clock was ticking on
