[00:30.00]In tribute to all things petite
[00:35.72]pretty and sweet
[00:39.44]The lonely doll
[00:44.77]This verse I offer and greet
[00:49.63]In desire to replete
[00:53.55]The lonely doll
[00:58.82]A portrait painted from truth
[01:04.33]But imagined to soothe
[01:08.33]The lonely doll
[01:13.39]For Beauty, eternal in youth
[01:18.10]Loves pity, compassion, and ruth
[01:22.52]The lonely doll
[01:27.59]I stumbled out of the saloon
[01:33.21]An evening last June
[01:37.18]The lonely doll
[01:42.33]And heard a distant, mournful tune
[01:47.12]Under the dyad moon
[01:51.43]The lonely doll
[01:56.32]My Soul, though with wine I did douse
[02:01.66]The song did arouse
[02:05.65]The lonely doll
[02:10.83]I followed, a drunken louse
[02:15.65]Unto a cardboard house
[02:19.73]The lonely doll
[02:25.21]And through the window to see
[02:30.18]A doll before me
[02:33.99]The lonely doll
[02:39.27]Singing to the mirror was she
[02:44.66]Was it a plea
[02:48.28]The lonely doll
[02:53.40]Her room was all dresses and bows
[02:58.44]For a doll needs her clothes
[03:02.52]The lonely doll
[03:07.71]She leaned in to breathe from a rose
[03:12.48]And stood on her tippy-toes
[03:16.81]The lonely doll
[03:21.58]With a brush made of jade and pearl
[03:27.26]She straightened her blonde curl
[03:31.90]The lonely doll
[03:36.60]I saw the sad eyes of a girl
[03:41.50]Under teardrops, aswirl
[03:45.21]The lonely doll
[03:50.27]She went to her canopied bed
[03:55.92]And laid down her head
[03:59.62]The lonely doll
[04:04.52]She picked up her sheep-doll and said
[04:10.20]Something with dread
[04:13.82]The lonely doll
[04:18.86]Though I was too drunk to make sense
[04:24.50]I felt her Essence
[04:27.75]The lonely doll
[04:33.50]And turned to leave this pretense
[04:37.76]For night, black and immense
[04:41.92]The lonely doll
[04:46.88]I remember that singing doll
[04:52.46]And her grievous call
[04:56.42]The lonely doll
[05:01.19]As a little reminder to us all
[05:10.65]The lonely doll
[05:06.53]Whose sadness wasn' t so small
