about

A reminiscence about an adolescent flirtation, played out like an epistolary romance from a Russian novel

lyrics

We wrote each other letters every week
A private joke that passed between us
I’d play your suitor on my knees
You were my Imperial Russian Princess


My Darling Princess Katarina
My pleading letters would begin
My dear beloved Katarina
It was your heart I hoped to win

In our game from a Russian novel
You were imperious, and refined
I claimed I was immobilized by passion
Your beauty seared into my mind

My Darling Princess Katarina
In time our game came to an end
My sweet darling Katarina
We could no longer just pretend

We exchanged letters all summer
It seemed like a silly thing
Our epistolary romance
Raged like the Torrents of Spring

Then one winter’s night we came together
And dropped the game to be ourselves
As I kissed you on your lips
We realized what we felt

My Darling Princess Katarina
What was once a game became real
My sweet darling Katarina
The game hid what we both feel
