they say, she was locked up
in that tower of hers
forever alone
with only the sea for a companion
they say she was seen on occasion
pacing the rocks
never looking behind her
or back at the town
they say she’d stand in silence
staring out at the midnight sea
always at the same spot on the horizon
listening to the crash of the waves
they say it was all she had.

they say, she was locked up
in that tower of hers
forever alone
with only the sea for a companion
they say she was seen on occasion
pacing the rocks
never looking behind her
or back at the town
they say she’d stand in silence
staring out at the midnight sea
always at the same spot on the horizon
listening to the crash of the waves
they say it was all she had.
"they say, she was seen on occasion, pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea." - taylor swift // the last great american dynasty
