One of the hardest things to accept must be the death of a child. This protagonist seeks comfort in a fairy tale fantasy.
lyrics
It's getting late, the sun's asleep
The earth is cooling down
The moon is out, a touch of frost
Has found its way to the ground
We will sit by the fire
I will tell you a story that will warm you when you're afraid outside
To give you strength through the night
I will rock you to sleep
When you're safe in my arms I'll make you understand
How to see your life, short and sweet, through my eyes
All is calm, there is no alarm
There is no more pain or fear
I will rock you to sleep...
You're a fairy tale
You're a breeze that whistles a song
You're young melody
You're the thoughts of the trees
You're the stars at night
You're eternal light
But you're not a child that died
The sun has gone to bed and so must we
You will find your way to where the children play
And I will have strength for a day
You will find your way to where the children play
And I will make it through another day
And when the day comes to end
I will welcome my little ghost again
Haunting me, close again, and I'll sing again
You're a fairy tale...
You're a fairy tale...
