Long-Forgotten Fairytale The Magnetic Fields

[Verse 1]
If someone told me you'd be here
Whispering these familiar things
Talking to my little pets
Smoking the same old cigarettes
I would have laughed

I saw you last in summertime
You said you hated long goodbyes
You said there's nothing to explain
In every life a little rain
Et cetera

[Chorus]
And a long-forgotten fairytale
Is in your eyes again
And I'm caught inside a dream world
Where the colors are too intense
And nothing is making sense

There's a floating town of eiderdown
In a mist of mystery
There's an old enchanted castle
And the princess there is me
Decked out like a Christmas tree
