Marionette....the curtains call... don't live in regret, you danced lovely, your heart lead the way... there is no shame in this. Marionette, lift your eyes, look to the light to find the sky's... Marionette, Marionette, ....whispers the stage.... listen Marionette.... the song is in your heart, the dance was yours to give... Marionette, your love will always live, love never dies, puppeteer grown quiet no stories play... Marionette lift your hand, while you can still point the way... pray for the day, pray for the puppeteer... Marionette should not be alone, but puppeteer is chilled to the bone... his memories, not always clear, in his heart he lives in great fear... his dark keep, much deeper than the stage. Marionette lift your eyes, let the broken strings drift behind you, dance in the love you gave, dance in the love you found... ~ Rain © cls 2003 |
