The coach stands

waiting just outside

just in case the queen

should want to take a ride

but she stays

safely locked away

she knows the world outside

can be so cold and grey



DAUGHTERS OF THE QUEEN

Come outside and Play

Slip into the nighttime

Before it slips away



Her castle

looms into the sky

behind those walls

you'll never see

a fear fall from her eye

she seems content

to live her life all alone

but locked inside

those castle walls

her heart has turned to stone



DAUGHTERS OF THE QUEEN

Come outside and Play

Slip into the nighttime

Before it slips away

DAUGHTERS OF THE QUEEN

Come let me hold your hand

Isn't it about time

You need to feel a man



Today Her Majesty has gone

in death's repose

it's much too late

she lies there all alone

alas the dreams

inside her heart

sleep forever silent

imprisoned by the dead



DAUGHTERS OF THE QUEEN

Come outside and Play

Slip into the nighttime

Before it gets too late
