Elizaveta – Fairy tale for girls

I discovered Elizaveta a few years back on Myspace, and fell in love with her music instantly.  I have followed her across several social networks, bought her albums, gratefully downloaded the free songs that she sends out to her fans from time to time, and in general, I have grown to feel as though she is a part of my life, despite her being a stranger who lives across the country from me.   Recently, she asked her fans to help get the word out about her music.   I would like to thank her for the lovely music (and the free mp3’s) by sharing her music with others as she requested, and hopefully bringing her some new fans.  This is one of my favorite songs by her.  The first verse makes me think of when I was a kid, reading and re-reading my Narnia books (haunted castles, talking trees…) and all kinds of other things too…

Please visit her website to hear more of her music, purchase her albums, read her blog, and more!  http://elizaveta.typepad.com/

oh, and just a bit of advice girls, you do indeed need to learn to be your own hero… the world has a severe shortage of heroes and there is no guarantee you’ll ever meet one in your lifetime…

Elizaveta – Fairy Tale for Girls

There’s a book I used to read

leaving stains on favorite pages

haunted castles, talking trees

phantom beasts in golden cages

can you see me rushing by

so sure of ever after

she is still somewhere inside

ponytales and sudden laughter

take all the magic you have found

and pictures you have made

use all the beauty you’re allowed

before it starts to fade

love all the princes that you meet

the dimples and the curls

and be your own princess in

this fairy tale for girls

this fairy tale for girls

And there’s a boy I used to see

and he could almost hypnotize me

don’t know what he saw in me

but even now his magic binds me

and I will dream of him at night

walking in my secret garden

I would like to have your child

how can you say I’m a burden

take all the magic you have found

pictures you have made

use all the beauty you’re allowed

before it starts to fade

love all the princes that you’ll meet

the dimples and the girls

and be your own hero in

this fairy tale for girls

this fairy tale for girls

All the times I’d beg and crawl

feeling wounded and infected

well did you say it was my fault

I just wish to feel protected

I’ll take all magic I have found

and pictures I have made

use all the beauty I’m allowed

before it starts to fade

love all the princes that I’ll meet

the dimples and the curls

and write my own chapter in

this fairy tale for girls
