In an old house she sits
With a book in her hand
One candle lit penning her plans
Writes I want adventure and I want romance
I'm gonna run this world someday
Soon as I get the chance
Along comes a strapping young man
Says just as you wish Madame
Here I am, here I am
Pretty young thing you'll be easy to love
With your wide-eyed stare and Anne Gregory hair
It's just a shame you don't see the truth
It's just a shame you've wasted your fleeting youth
On things that will always remain the same
Lovely Isabel thinks she knows so well
Why the earth spins and the apple fell
Lovely Isabel thinks she knows so well
Well poor jaded man you have it all wrong
I don't care if you love me or my yellow hair
Just so long as I'm on your mind
I'll be fine I'll be fine
So if you don't understand me
It's not because I'm young
You see I, I was written in a foreign tongue
Well the world didn't turn the way she thought it would
People didn't see the change she believed they could
So in her rage she threw her book to the wall
Hoping from the page the words would fall
Well that old house creaked and it rattled the door
But from that book leaked one story more
Lovely Isabel you thought you knew so well
Why I spin and the apple fell
Lovely Isabel there are secrets I'll never tell
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
It's coming to an end now my good friend
You've walked a long way
Don't look so sad darling
I warned you things would not change
Still she cried and she cried cause no one cared
That the pretty girl with the yellow hair
Was lying cold there
