| [00:30.00] |
In tribute to all things petite |
| [00:35.72] |
pretty and sweet |
| [00:39.44] |
The lonely doll |
| [00:44.77] |
This verse I offer and greet |
| [00:49.63] |
In desire to replete |
| [00:53.55] |
The lonely doll |
| [00:58.82] |
A portrait painted from truth |
| [01:04.33] |
But imagined to soothe |
| [01:08.33] |
The lonely doll |
| [01:13.39] |
For Beauty, eternal in youth |
| [01:18.10] |
Loves pity, compassion, and ruth |
| [01:22.52] |
The lonely doll |
| [01:27.59] |
I stumbled out of the saloon |
| [01:33.21] |
An evening last June |
| [01:37.18] |
The lonely doll |
| [01:42.33] |
And heard a distant, mournful tune |
| [01:47.12] |
Under the dyad moon |
| [01:51.43] |
The lonely doll |
| [01:56.32] |
My Soul, though with wine I did douse |
| [02:01.66] |
The song did arouse |
| [02:05.65] |
The lonely doll |
| [02:10.83] |
I followed, a drunken louse |
| [02:15.65] |
Unto a cardboard house |
| [02:19.73] |
The lonely doll |
| [02:25.21] |
And through the window to see |
| [02:30.18] |
A doll before me |
| [02:33.99] |
The lonely doll |
| [02:39.27] |
Singing to the mirror was she |
| [02:44.66] |
Was it a plea |
| [02:48.28] |
The lonely doll |
| [02:53.40] |
Her room was all dresses and bows |
| [02:58.44] |
For a doll needs her clothes |
| [03:02.52] |
The lonely doll |
| [03:07.71] |
She leaned in to breathe from a rose |
| [03:12.48] |
And stood on her tippy-toes |
| [03:16.81] |
The lonely doll |
| [03:21.58] |
With a brush made of jade and pearl |
| [03:27.26] |
She straightened her blonde curl |
| [03:31.90] |
The lonely doll |
| [03:36.60] |
I saw the sad eyes of a girl |
| [03:41.50] |
Under teardrops, aswirl |
| [03:45.21] |
The lonely doll |
| [03:50.27] |
She went to her canopied bed |
| [03:55.92] |
And laid down her head |
| [03:59.62] |
The lonely doll |
| [04:04.52] |
She picked up her sheep-doll and said |
| [04:10.20] |
Something with dread |
| [04:13.82] |
The lonely doll |
| [04:18.86] |
Though I was too drunk to make sense |
| [04:24.50] |
I felt her Essence |
| [04:27.75] |
The lonely doll |
| [04:33.50] |
And turned to leave this pretense |
| [04:37.76] |
For night, black and immense |
| [04:41.92] |
The lonely doll |
| [04:46.88] |
I remember that singing doll |
| [04:52.46] |
And her grievous call |
| [04:56.42] |
The lonely doll |
| [05:01.19] |
As a little reminder to us all |
| [05:10.65] |
The lonely doll |
| [05:06.53] |
Whose sadness wasn' t so small |
