Your Cinderella is dead
When they found that girl there by the shore
So young, just around fifteen or more
Her blue eyes shone, they looked like me
My sister, Emmylou, you see
You vanished years ago that night
I wore the badge, prepared to fight
Found children lost along the sand
With peace and horror in their hands
Refrain:
Listen, daddy, your Cinderella’s dead
You never knew the love you had
You never held her, now it’s far too late
Listen, daddy, your Cinderella’s dead
Yes, I know it’s a bitter fate
Your Cinderella is dead
You always wanted to be like me
Just dreamed of flying wild and free
On that cold and rainy night
You wrote a letter, said “Goodbye”
Since then no sign, no word from you
My little sister, Emmylou
Now the wind takes all my cries
And steals away the reasons why
Refrain:
Listen, daddy, your Cinderella’s dead
You never knew the love you had
You never held her, now it’s far too late
Listen, daddy, your Cinderella’s dead
Yes, I know it’s a bitter fate
