D G D
|
Lost in the valley of vaults/dolls/Oz(?)
|
G D G D
|
Fell from the path, it was nobody's fault
|
Bm A
|
That I was alone.
|
D G D
|
Time dripped from the trees
|
G - D
|
Left through the nail (I leapt through a lamp/land/lap(?) (?))
|
G D G A
|
I fell to my knees before the throne
|
Bm G Bm
|
And the crown was covered jewels, sparkling schools
|
A
|
OF BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT
|
G A
|
The magnificent battle was fought
|
Bm G A
|
And Cinderella's soldier fish was caught
|
Bm A
|
And the lady from the lake
|
Bm A
|
Who helped me to escape
|
G Em A
|
Led me to myself at last
|
Em A Bm /A/D
|
Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house
|
|
G D G D
|
The flower fled from my feet,
|
G D G D
|
Tom Sawyer voice through the hole of the key,
|
Bm A
|
Landed so gently.
|
D G D
|
Castles cover the cave,
|
G D G D
|
I had no choice, the visions were brave
|
Bm A
|
And the phantoms were friendly,
|
Bm G
|
And Pirate Jenny was dancing for pennies,
|
Bm A
|
The knucklebones tossed in a spin,
|
G A
|
There were silver songs on her skin.
|
Bm G A
|
And she wasn't caring when the ship came in.
|
|
And the lady from the lake
|
Helped me to escape
|
Led me to myself at last,
|
Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house
|
|
|
D G D
|
My costume dropped to the floor,
|
G D G D
|
Naked at last, I couldn't fight any-more,
|
Bm A
|
And the service was rendered.
|
D G D G D
|
A poem fell from the wine, buried the past.
|
G D Bm A
|
The future was mine and the present sur-rendered.
|
Bm G
|
And the ballet master is beckoning faster,
|
Bm A G A
|
The ballerina was posed, in the fragile beauty we froze.
|
Bm G A
|
Let go, let go, let go, let go, let go.
|
|
|
And the lady from the lake
|
Who helped me to escape
|
Left me with myself at last
|
Though I danced with the doll in the doll house
