All Along (aka I dumped the Prince for Jesus)

Here's what happens when you mix faith, late nites and a glass of wine! It is the liberation from an ideal to the reality of God (I think it's more a girl thing - to be lost in a world of modern day princes and knights in shining armour...but maybe some of you guys can relate). Anyways, it's a silly song I wrote with my friend Ryan who was visiting last week from BC, but don't expect me to sing it for you - he has a WAY better voice and range, and MAD guitar skills. I'm working on it...

Darkness shrouds a painted sky
Pastel colours fade to grey
And the kisses of the real
Abandoning my soul
Naked and alone

Pieces from the castle
Now ruins on the ground
And the dreams I've built beneath me
To hold me firm and tall
They never held at all

The curtain falls
The fairytale has ended
And left you in the book where you belong
The final call
To find the Love that loved me all along

Forgotten dreams that held a face
Fade to mist and lose their shape
See the prince upon his back
See the fiction turn to fact
The closing of the act

Pages filled with fantasy
Laid to rest on dusty shelves
I've grown past these silly fables
You found you've lost your crown?
We all fall down

The curtain falls
The fairytale has ended
And left you in the book where you belong
The final call
To find the Love that loved me all along
