From the recording Cardboard & Velvet

Lyrics

(chorus)
Watch and listen it’s like cardboard and velvet
The feeling that’s missing the strawberries you smelled
all gone feels 15 years gone

There was a prince and there was a prior
Before the forest before the lyre, all gone
feels 15 years gone

Now I am happy now I am different
The maidens and choirs just heard in the distance
now you're gone feels 15 years gone

(Chorus)

I feel the influence here in my singing
The bells we discovered are sometimes still ringing
Now you're gone feels 15 years gone

Now I am happy have I recovered?
The dragons I’m fighting come from another world
and your world is 15 years gone

(Chorus)

Now I'm not a princess but I can keep reading
Time is the animal that we’re all feeding
And you’re gone feels 15 years gone

(Chorus)

But I see the scales and they’re still in balance
The fortune I’m reading says this is another chance
