(Intro Rock Guitar,Chor,Drums)

(Verse 1)

In that old stone tower there are ninety-nine stairs

And one of them whispers your name

In the fading light of a violet sky

I climbed them just the same

The windows are veiled in silver dust

The garden is drowned in grey

You move like a shadow through empty halls

Where even the mirrors look away

(Pre-Chorus)

I bring you sun in a paper bag

And laughter wrapped in string

But every time I reach your door

You turn winter into spring… of rain

(Chorus)

Oh Princess of the Grey,

Why do you hide your colours away?

Let the light break through the clouds

I’m standing here, I’m not afraid

Princess of the Grey…

Come dance with me in the pouring rain

(Verse 2)

There’s a piano that plays by itself at night

Playing songs you used to know

The notes fall like teardrops on the keys

But nobody hears them go

You wear a crown of forgotten dreams

Made of mist and quiet sighs

I knock so softly on your heart

But the echo only replies…

(Solo Heavy Guitar long)

(Pre-Chorus)

I bring you fire in an open hand

And promises made of gold

But you keep the warmth behind locked gates

Where stories stay untold

(Chorus)

Oh Princess of the Grey,

Why do you hide your colours away?

Let the light break through the clouds

I’m standing here, I’m not afraid

Princess of the Grey…

Come dance with me in the pouring rain

(Bridge)

One day the grey will fade, I know

The tower will open wide

And you’ll step out into the morning glow

With the sun back in your eyes…

(Final Chorus) (leiser, dann aufbauend)

Princess of the Grey…

I’ll wait for you, come what may

When you’re ready to leave the rain behind

I’ll be right here… still standing by your side

(Chorus)

Oh Princess of the Grey,

Why do you hide your colours away?

Let the light break through the clouds

I’m standing here, I’m not afraid

Princess of the Grey…

Come dance with me in the pouring rain
