	I have always been in love with princesses, towers, dragons, swords. This is a tale about a real princess, a real prince and a real prison. My guess is that a little dragons breath might be detected on most of my gender, myself included, myself specifically. Attn: Do not listen on Lo Fi it is distorted and poor quality, stick with Hi Fi and Download.

	Story Behind the Song I started writing this when the news of her death hit the airways. Several days later I put the lyrics and the music in the treasure chest for a more appropriate time. I guess a thousand songs have been written named "Queen of Hearts" by now, consider this just one more. In the original version there is a line "And I'm the street singer for the Queen of Hearts" That line didn't make the cut but if you changed singer to player you would know pretty much how I feel about this, cause words can't really say it all in this case. But my guitar does, at least for me. Lyrics Her heart is like a clown imprisoned in a tower Guarded by a dragon on the ground She might steal away, one night while he was sleeping If her laughter didn't wake him by the sound She used to be a princess and that was half the problem Now there is a lock upon her heart And the dragon thinks he loves her but what was is now obsession Now he plays the jailer thats his part Steal away, Steal away Don't be disbelieving, Steal Away, Steal Away while you still can If you live your life in chains, you will hate yourself forever Let yourself down from the tower, Steal Away If I could I'd take a sword and I'd thrust it in the dragon and rid her of her pain forever more But the sword would pierce her too they are wound so close together In the tower with the window but no door And the dragon sleeps so lightly That you must be very quiet He can hear things that are not even there And your closest friend,the clown You must leave within the tower The dragon will not wake if she stays there Now the dragon is a dreamer and he's dreaming he's a man And the key's to his salvation are clutched safely in his hand But the tower has no entrance, he has searched before And the lady in the tower couldn't love him more But he is just a dragon, he will never understand He has the keys to paradise imprisoned in his hand
