She sits at the window   All dressed in white   Been a long time since she's cried   Tears called ....tumbling down   She remembers her childhood brown   She's afraid it's too late      She steps out on the porch   Takes a minute from her day   Just like when she was a child   To listen what the wind would say   She was carefree like the children are today   Say, ? ? loves you, won't you come out and play   She's afraid it's too late      When she was a child   She had crowns hiding gold   With such awe, each flower she did hold   And she...the grass beneath her feet   How she hated things that were already late      They took away her laughter   They took away her crown   They said "hey girl, you gotta keep your feet on the ground"   She said "oh, but they are"   They say "well laughter won't pay your bills"   A flower fell from her hand, falling still   They taught her to be respectable   Responsible somehow   They taught her to be in every....   She forgot how it felt to have leaves of grass beneath her feet   Now every thought screams to return to her childhood royalty   She's afraid it's too late      She takes one last moment   Before going inside   She takes a coat   To dry her eye   She ... and it all becomes clear   It's probably laughter that gets you what you need   ....more than here   She's afraid it's too late      La la la la   La la da da laaah
