Too Old for Fairy Tales

One American morning

When I was young

I knew the way

It was there clear as day

And the road I was on

And you were my baby

And we were so close

Now I wander around

Lost in this town

Just like a ghost

I can remember

Falling under a spell

It was so long ago

Now I'm too old for fairytales

Now everything is different

And so much the same

And everyone wants

Just one more chance

And someone to blame

I should know better

But I'm beyond the pale

And I should let go

Because I'm too old for fairytales.

I'm so tired of chasin'

Fortune and fame

I'm tired of this life

I'm tired of the fight

I'm bored with the game

And once in a blue moon

I go off the rails

And I can't be told

That I'm too old

For fairytales.

I can't be told

That I'm too old

For fairytales.
