Princess

There's a little girl in skibbereen
With flowing hair and ragged jeans
And floating in a vivid dream, as classes go by

And every day at three o'clock
She's out the door and down the block
And hurries to the river dock, a gleam in her eyes

And everything's fine for the day
There's nothing to get in the way of her smile
There's never a care for tomorrow
Cuz molly's a princess today

The barricade's a castle wall, forty seven miles tall
The river’s got a waterfall, the moat is so deep

The cedar trees are canopies
A ceiling made of needle leaves
A buzzing fleet of honeybees is guarding the keep

And no one can take this away
What lives in her mind will remain there to stay
There's never a care for tomorrow
Cuz molly's a princess today

Real life can be lifeless and cold
When your heart grows up and gets old
The dreams of your past never seem to quite last
In a future that's so far away
But here in the place, you know molly
Is a princess today

In little while, it's dinnertime
She leaves the kingdom in her mind
A bookmark in the storyline
A chapter is done

The mystery of what will be, tomorrow
When the clock strikes three
There beneath the cedar trees
The princess will come

And there's nothing that she couldn't do
When she closes her eyes, and imagines the view
There's never a care for tomorrow
Cuz molly's a princess today
Yeah, there's never a care for tomorrow
Cuz molly's a princess today
