That Fragile Capricorn - Once Upon a Time Lyrics

Once upon a time there lived a handsome prince and a most beautiful princess
They spent their mornings professing their love for one another and their evenings praying
To the stars

Every time the stars saw the couple approaching their balcony the stars would flicker to show their approval

Their prayers had already been memorized and the heavens were fast at work to fulfill
Them
In fact the couple's love for one another was so pure that it intimidated all of the villagers

You see the villagers still believed in an ancient superstition which said your love
Had to get approval by the village council
Some villagers were so zealous over this old wives' tale that they even sought to cause harm to those who didn't follow their outdated tradition

Many had to hide their feelings and even pretend that they loved no one at all
Those who followed their hearts were rewarded with the purest love while those who conformed
To the man-made rule went their whole lives without experiencing one of the most beautiful gifts that life has to offer

Those who went against the council's orders were persecuted and harassed
No one was spared from their brutal and aggressive ways
One day the prince woke up to discover that

Oh my I'm sorry
It seems like I won't be able to read any further
I hope you can forgive me
I certainly wasn't expecting
I'm sorry I must go now
