Pretty And High Lyrics - The Roches

(Words & Music by Margaret A Roche) 

She came on the stage 

in a dress like the sky 

she had painted a sunset 

around her eyes 

and all of the people 

were charmed and surprised 

at how pretty and high and shy she was 

pretty and high and shy 

She at the window 

and the prince upon the bed 

they were for an hour 

before he said 

if she had no place else 

she was welcome to stay 

but she'd better get back 

and she thanked him the same 

leavin' him pretty and high and dry 

pretty and high and dry 

The prince was confused 

so he asked the magician 

the magician arrived 

at the answer profound 

if she takes off her dress 

the sky will fall down 

cause she's pretty and high and a lie 

pretty and high and a lie
