Always Lyrics - Jonatha Brooke

A princess was invited to an island 

A kings castle in the sea 

No one came to take her suitcase 

She waited in the garden outside 

The guests inside were dressed for the water 

But the princess remained outside alone 

And the king who had called her his precious flower 

Would not grant her a room of her own 

She was young and frightened 

By the glittering wealth and she wondered 

If shed be allowed to stay 

But she slipped herself into the sea and 

Swimming, naked, all the crystal 

Lovely, dancing waves were hers 

And whispered, "I am here, yes, I am always" 

The king was angered by such indecency 

He sent his soldiers to pull her out 

Her foot met something sharp on the ocean floor 

But still she did not want to leave 

She saw the king, and she saw with him 

That the island was not her home 

She could not live her life like the rest of his court 

She needed a room of her own 

But she slipped herself into the sea and 

Swimming, naked, all the crystal, 

Lovely, dancing waves were hers and 

Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am" 

"Always, always, always, I am 

Always, always, always, I am, always" 

The castle still stands there on the island 

But the king and his court are alone 

And his beautiful, precious flower 

Has swum away to a room of her own 

She slipped herself into the sea and 

Swimming, naked, all the crystal 

Lovely, dancing waves were hers and 

Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am" 

"Always, always, always, I am 

Always, always, always, I am 

Always, always, always, I am 

Always, always, always, I am"
