"Leia" Lyrics by Joshua Kronengold TTTO "Iowa" by Dar Williams I have never given something for nothing, But the passion of the Princess make me wish that I could. And I've never put another's life before mine. But if Leia asked me, I think that I would. When I was just a smuggler, I didn't need no bother. I'd better things to do than to risk death for fools. 'Cause I took all of my risks for hard money. And for money and my freedom, I'd break all the rules. (Chorus) Le....Leia. How I long to change just a little bit, To beat your expectations, and rise in your sight. But I know, that to fall in love with you, is to enter a doomed and impossibe fight. I went and talked to Jabba on a bad day, I owed him lots of money. He yelled at me in anger from his ugly bed of slime. He said "Where's my money, If I don't get it, The sector will know that you're no friend of mine." (Chorus) Le....Leia. Once I was free and clear, I gave it up, For your friends in the Rebellion, And words I've never felt. And so for you,, I flew cross hyperspace, Ten parsecs past the limit, through an asteroid belt (and I'd do it again!). For last night, I went flying from the safe-hold of discression. For I woke up from a nightmare, that I could not bear to see. You were all dying in the shadow of the Empire, and I was just settling a fee. (Chorus) Le....Leia. (Chorus) Le....Leia.
