Lyric

I wear a lantern grin

Behind the curtain seam

Your fingers made my moon

Out of felt and cream

My dress is paper blue

My heart is folded neat

I spin when you say "turn"

On tiptoe feet

Hear the little hush

Of ribbon and thread

I'm only made of shadow

But I move ahead

Shadow puppet princess

Dance me slow

Shadow puppet princess

Let me glow

If the world goes dark

I still know the way

Shadow puppet princess

I'm here to stay

The queen in the painted frame

Says "smile and hold it high"

But I've got a midnight river

Running through my eyes

The moonlight in the wings

Catches every seam

I bow to the quiet room

And wake the dream

Hear the little hush

Of ribbon and thread

I'm only made of shadow

But I move ahead

Shadow puppet princess

Dance me slow

Shadow puppet princess

Let me glow

If the world goes dark

I still know the way

Shadow puppet princess

I'm here to stay

If your hands let go

I won't disappear

I know the shape of hope

When the curtain nears

Shadow puppet princess

Dance me slow

Shadow puppet princess

Let me glow

If the world goes dark

I still know the way

Shadow puppet princess

I'm here to stay

Shadow puppet princess

Take your bow

Shadow puppet princess

Love me now
