Lyric

Shadow-Puppet Princess

Nocturne Echo

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

    Waltz to Close the Storybook

    Nocturne Echo

An English female vocal jazz album from the Velvet Night Archive series, inspired by old storybooks, magic clocks, and forest ballrooms. Centered on dreamy storybook jazz with touches of waltz-like motion, it creates an elegant, magical, and slightly mysterious velvet-night atmosphere.
