I'd spent November adrift in quaint cafés
'Cause all is fine a page at a time
Warding off the ghastly mundane
You fell at twilight oddly drenched to the bone
The words you said went over my head
Puzzled by the subtle glow
Thought I saw you glitter like shards of ice
The white pearlescent hair had me gasp in surprise
Splendid in alien grace that I couldn't place
Surely just a trick of the light?
Our spirits came together without debate
Twirling through the air in a magic display
Didn't need glasses to see we were destined to be
'Cause I believe in fairytales
Spellbound beneath the stars
I found the courage to ascend within my heart
And it felt just like a dream

You sought adventure that I knew where to find
Put on hold a decade or so
Waiting for a partner in crime
Whiled away the hours in lavish parks
Pestering the crowds with our flowery talk
Knee-deep in high-flown romance and its glamorous dance
Heedless of the tick of the clock
Watched the blue horizon turn red and gold
Swearing by champagne to battle the cold
You'd sing the heavens goodnight shouting into the sky
Legends of your heroes of old
Things will never be the same
Since you vanished out of sight without a trace
Maybe just a dream
