Marionette

Marionette, your dress is all wet
 Did someone leave you outside in the rain,
 Or is it the pain
 that makes all the puppet tears
 roll down your cheek
 Or does the roof leak?
 Marionette, how could you forget?
 I told you your bright shining varnish
 would peel
 And how does it feel
 with the bright rouge all faded and
 the smile almost cracked
 Now that you've come back?
 Back to the toy shop by Brandenburg Gate
 I hope not too late
 ♪
 'Cause my hands are much stiffer
 Than they were when first I
 painted your eyes.
 Marionette, no you're not finished yet;
 I'll mend you and make you like new,
 Paint your eyes blue,
 and make you as young as I was myself,
 And there on the shelf...
 You'll sit till the Puppet Man
 Comes round again.
