A princess was invited to an island   A king?s castle in the sea   No one came to take her suitcase   She waited in the garden outside      The guests inside were dressed for the water   But the princess remained outside alone   And the king who had called her his precious flower   Would not grant her a room of her own      She was young and frightened   By the glittering wealth and she wondered   If she?d be allowed to stay      But she slipped herself into the sea and   Swimming, naked, all the crystal   Lovely, dancing waves were hers   And whispered, "I am here, yes, I am always"      The king was angered by such indecency   He sent his soldiers to pull her out   Her foot met something sharp on the ocean floor   But still she did not want to leave      She saw the king, and she saw with him   That the island was not her home   She could not live her life like the rest of his court   She needed a room of her own      But she slipped herself into the sea and   Swimming, naked, all the crystal,   Lovely, dancing waves were hers and   Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am"      "Always, always, always, I am   Always, always, always, I am, always"      The castle still stands there on the island   But the king and his court are alone   And his beautiful, precious flower   Has swum away to a room of her own      She slipped herself into the sea and   Swimming, naked, all the crystal   Lovely, dancing waves were hers and   Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am"      "Always, always, always, I am   Always, always, always, I am   Always, always, always, I am   Always, always, always, I am"
