Only Fairytales
(words & music Markus Rill)

Do you remember Bobby Fischer?
He was the champion of the world
Do you remember Bobby Fischer
a brilliant mind, once upon a time

This life can break even the best ones
it can’t be outsmarted and it can’t be outrun
and it can’t be figured out
until the longest day is done

Do you remember Ernest Hemingway?
Bullfights and fish, war and an iceberg
Do you remember Ernest Hemingway
so strong and wild, once upon a time

Why must fate be such a fickle thing
oh what it can take away and, oh boy, what it can bring
no one knows what it might mean
but it changes only everything

Do you still recall Bill Haley?
The first king of rock’n’roll
Do you still recall Bill Haley
his comet burned so bright, once upon a time

Every fairytale I’ve ever heard
they ended happy ever after
but that was once upon a time
and those were only fairytales

Remember John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Gave a lotta folks a lotta hope
Remember John Fitzgerald Kennedy
he let in a little light, once upon a time
