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
