East of the sun and west of the moon
There was no end to her loveliness
So lovely was she
You wouldn’t believe
Where she is today
The pale moon glares down on their home
They’re all alone out there
Waiting for something to come along
And rescue them
And it’s bound to be soon
Under the pale moon, there’s something hiding
Knocks on their door, it’s also waiting for someone
And that someone is her
The loveliest girl
She loves them so
But she wants to say no
Until her father lets her go
And she goes
She is so brave, never afraid
No one will look out for her
East of the sun and west of the moon

She’s quiet and lonely
She’s sad and alone
She’s waiting for something
And wants to go home
She lies awake, lonely
Wonders; who is he?
Who is this man beside her?
She can’t let it be
Once it’s dark he’s there
How can she know him?
“Just ring the silver bell my dear,
And all your wishes will come true
Just ring the silver bell my dear,
And anything you want, you’ll have
I’ll give you joy and happiness
Whatever you wish, I’ll bring for you
Just ring the silver bell my dear”
She’s quiet and lonely
She’s sad and alone
She’s waiting for something
And wants to go home
She lies awake, lonely
Wonders; who is he?
Who is this man beside her?
She can’t let it be
Once it’s dark he’s there
Loneliness keeps her
How will she ever know his name? Hidden in the dark
“Just ring the silver bell my dear,
And all your wishes will come true
Just ring the silver bell my dear,
And anything you want, you’ll have
I’ll give you joy and happiness
Whatever you wish, I’ll bring for you
Just ring the silver bell my dear”
Now she can go home

At last, happy at once
Her family thrilled and loving
Her mother scheming
“Let me see you alone, I have secrets to tell,
Let me tell you, but hide it well!
When it’s dark, find out who he is,
But don’t wake him up, or you’ll regret this”
The girl was wary, but trusted her mother
They loved each other
So she took and hid her words
Hoping to solve the mystery
He was suspicious, but happy
To love her was all he wanted
Trying to understand, she hid in the dark
Tried to be still
Tried to hold still
Tried to be quiet
But he woke and all hope was lost
If she had waited one day more
They would be happy and free
Now he must flee
East of the sun, and west of the moon
“Follow me if you dare”

Where is she going to?
When will she get there?
She meets wonderful women who will
Help her, guide her, giving her
What she will need to find the truth
And the wind will fly her
Over oceans and mountains, will lead her
To a place, that lies
East of the sun and west of the moon
Where is she going to?
When will she get there?
She meets wonderful women who will
Help her, guide her, giving her
What she will need to find the truth
And the wind will fly her
Weary, she travels far
Where will the wind blow?
in one way there will be somewhere to
Go her ways will weave themselves
Weave their way to one who needs her near
And the wind will fly her
She’s the one who will finally
Save him, help him, guide him
The time has come, won’t be a day more
They’re happy and free
Now, they can flee
