The Lonely Doll

Lyrics for The Lonely Doll

In tribute to all things petite Pretty and sweet The lonely doll This verse i offer and greet In desire to replete The lonely doll A portrait painted from truth But imagined to soothe The lonely doll For beauty eternal in youth Loves pity compassion and ruth The lonely doll I stumble out of the saloon An 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 follow a drunk looking lass Into 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 full of dresses and bows For a doll needs her clothes The lonely doll She leaned in to breathe from a rose And stood on tippying toes The lonely doll. With a brush made of jade and pearl She straightened her blond curls The lonely doll. I saw the sad eyes of a girl Under tear drops aswirl The lonely doll She went to her canopy bed And laid down her head The lonely doll She picked up her sheep doll and said Something with dread The lonely doll. But I was too drunk to make sense I felt her essence The lonely doll I 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. And it's a little reminder to the song Whose sadness wasn't so small The lonely doll.
