Playing Rapunzel

Lyrics to Freefall

[Verse: Marilisa Valtazanou]

She's put away all her mirrors now

She's down to just one pair of shoes

She pins up her hair to hide the grey

And maybe she'd choose differently

If she could still choose



[Verse: Marilisa and Mich Sampson]

It's all so normal now, each day and night

She once thought it was so exciting

Her feet hurt now, when she tries to dance

The sea calls to her at night and its voice is so inviting ...



[Chorus 1: Marilisa]

She hasn't been unlucky, and life hasn't been unkind

She's enjoyed forty years of the world she came to find

And she knows it was her choice that this should come to be –

But some nights, she longs for the sea ...



[Bridge: Marilisa]

And when the moon is full and the tides are pulling stronger

She knows that she can bear these chains of earth no longer

She longs to run down to the shore

Kick off her shoes, strip down to her skin

And dive in



[Chorus 2: Marilisa]

And let the sea surround her, take her in its arms

Lose herself completely in its waves and in its charms

Be one with the salt water, let it set her free

Give herself back to the sea ...



[Verse: Marilisa]

She's put away all her mirrors now

She's down to just one pair of shoes

She pins up her hair to hide the grey

And maybe she'd choose differently

If she could still choose ...
