Lyrics to Marionette

4. Marionette



Marionette and all of your faces

The nights as you slept

I traded you places

And twice in my dream

As I saw you talking

I picked up your strings

And I started walking



Me being you

I know how I wonder

A child’s book of myths

The pages were number

And twice in my dream

We met through a mirror

Before I could scream

But my strings you held nearer



Marionette the curtain is falling

The clock strikes in vain

And somewhere is calling



I’ll put you away

But where am I going

I’ll meet you today

When tomorrow is showing



Something to find

And someplace to wander

Ah Marionette

Oh the spell we were under

And twice in my dream

And once every season

And three times the scheme

You add rhyme

To the reason
