13 Little Dolls
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.
Darkness ain't a sin
It's the visions in your head
Leave it on the windowsill, it's for them now instead
Do you think they know your heart?
It wouldn't be a big surprise
Because the pendulum will swing
Whenever night arrives
13 Go a-wandering from grandma's hands to mine
And I'll never be alone
I'm cursed and I am blessed
It's all and it is less
You would not believe the tales they tell
The good, the bad, the hurts like hell
Burden those who live the shaded path
They won't betray their wooden mask
Find them, hide them, keep them safe
Those 13 little dolls
One for each mood of the day
Those 13 little dolls
Cross your heart and dare to sleep
Leave them out to play
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 little dolls
See I was told a tale
Of witches in a box
Lift the lid and spirits rise,
And I see them now, of course
Now they're here beside the bed
I feel 6 and 20 eyes
Because for every twist and turn
Those dolls will catch the mystery
Tell them every fear I have and let it set me free
It's a black magic but a friend
We're locked until the bitter end
You would not believe the tales they tell
The good, the bad, the hurts like hell
Not apparent to the naked eye
But with the third, it all takes flight
Find them, hide them, keep them safe
Those 13 little dolls
One for each mood of the day
Those 13 little dolls
Cross your heart and dare to sleep
Leave them out to play
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 little dolls
Find them, hide them, keep them safe
Those 13 little dolls
One for each mood of the day
Those 13 little dolls
Cross your heart and dare to sleep
Leave them out to play
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 little dolls
