Lyrics

(Chorus)
Lady Elaine, what a pretty name
Lives up in her palace/all alone /ain't that a shame
How can she have everything she needs, and have nothing at all
The world may be her oyster but its pearl don't shine at all

(Verse 1)
She waits atop an ivory tower /searching across the sea
Seems she's got all a girl could want /but there's someplace
/she'd rather be
Can't help but think she'd leave it all/
if only to feel free
Wish I had a boat to sail, then I would take her there with me

(Chorus)
Lady Elaine, what a pretty name
way up in her palace/all alone /ain't that a shame
How can you have everything you need, and have nothing at all
The world may be your oyster but its pearl don't shine at all

(Verse 2)
I sometimes wonder if she sees me down here on this beach
I'm just a common fishing boy/ baiting lines not royalty
Some might think I ain't got much, but I've got everything I need
Just missing the girl up in that palace with me out on the sea

(Chorus)
Lady Elaine, what a pretty name
Way up in her palace/all alone /ain't that a shame
How can you have everything you need, and have nothing at all
The world may be your oyster but its pearl don't shine at all

(Bridge)
When reality and fantasy collide
It's sure to take you on a wild ride
Anything can happen if you feel it deep inside
Trust your heart and everything will be all right

(Verse 3)
As the Summer sun starts to set/ over the horizon
My young heart skips a beat, cause I think I caught her eye then
She sends me half a smile then slowly walks away
I go back to my work /enough dreaming for today.

Chorus
Lady Elaine, what a pretty name
Way up in your palace/all alone /[F]ain't that a shame
How can you have everything you need, and have nothing at all
The world may be your oyster but its pearl don't shine at all

If you'd come down from that tower, you'd find down here we'd have it all
