The Lonely Doll

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

In tribute to all things petite

Pretty and sweet, the lonely doll.

This first i offer a greet

And desire to repeat the lonely doll.

A poetry painted from truth

But imagine the suit the lonely doll.

For beauty eternally in youth

Those pity compassion and roots

The lonely doll.

I stumble out of the salute

And evening last june, the lonely doll.

And heard a distant mournful tune

Under the dyad moon

The lonely doll.

My soul, though with wine i did douse

The song did arouse, the lonely doll

I followed, a drunken louse

Unto a cardboard house,the lonely doll

And through the window to see

A doll before me, the lonely doll

Singing to the mirror was she-

Was it a plea?

The lonely doll

Her room was all dresses and bows

For a doll neeeds her clothes, the lonely doll

She leaned in to breathe from a rose

And stood on her tippy-toes, the lonely doll

With a brush made of jade and pearl

She straightened her blonde curl, the lonely doll

I saw the sad eyes of a girl

Under teardrops, aswirl, the lonely doll

She went to her canopied bed

And laid down her head, the lonely doll

She picked up her sheep-doll and said

Something with dread, the lonely doll

Though i was too drunk to make sense

I felt her essence, the lonely doll

And turned to leave this pretense

For night, black and immense, the lonely doll

I remember that singing doll

And her grievous call, the lonely doll

As a little reminder to us all

Whose sadness wasn't so small, the lonely doll.
