The Lonely Doll - Cass McCombs[00:00:00]
In tribute to all things petite [00:00:30]
Pretty and sweet [00:00:35]
The Lonely Doll[00:00:39]
This verse I offer and greet[00:00:44]
In desire to replete[00:00:49]
The Lonely Doll[00:00:53]
A portrait painted from truth[00:00:59]
But imagined to soothe[00:01:04]
The Lonely Doll[00:01:08]
For Beauty eternal in youth[00:01:13]
Loves pity compassion and ruth[00:01:18]
The Lonely Doll[00:01:22]
I stumbled out of the saloon[00:01:27]
An evening last June[00:01:33]
The Lonely Doll[00:01:37]
And heard a distant mournful tune[00:01:42]
Under the dyad moon[00:01:47]
The Lonely Doll[00:01:51]
My Soul though with wine I did douse[00:01:56]
The song did arouse[00:02:01]
The Lonely Doll[00:02:05]
I followed a drunken louse[00:02:10]
Unto a cardboard house[00:02:15]
The Lonely Doll[00:02:19]
And through the window to see[00:02:25]
A doll before me[00:02:30]
The Lonely Doll[00:02:33]
Singing to the mirror was she-[00:02:39]
Was it a plea [00:02:44]
The Lonely Doll[00:02:48]
Her room was all dresses and bows[00:02:53]
For a doll needs her clothes[00:02:58]
The Lonely Doll[00:03:02]
She leaned in to breathe from a rose[00:03:07]
And stood on her tippy-toes[00:03:12]
The Lonely Doll[00:03:16]
With a brush made of jade and pearl[00:03:21]
She straightened her blonde curl[00:03:26]
The Lonely Doll[00:03:31]
I saw the sad eyes of a girl[00:03:36]
Under teardrops aswirl[00:03:41]
The Lonely Doll[00:03:45]
She went to her canopied bed[00:03:50]
And laid down her head[00:03:55]
The Lonely Doll[00:03:59]
She picked up her sheep-doll and said[00:04:04]
Something with dread[00:04:09]
The Lonely Doll[00:04:13]
Though I was too drunk to make sense[00:04:19]
I felt her Essence[00:04:24]
The Lonely Doll[00:04:27]
And turned to leave this pretense[00:04:33]
For night black and immense[00:04:37]
The Lonely Doll[00:04:41]
I remember that singing doll[00:04:47]
And her grievous call[00:04:52]
The Lonely Doll[00:04:56]
As a little reminder to us all[00:05:01]
Whose sadness wasn't so small[00:05:06]
The Lonely Doll[00:05:10]
