Lyrics

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

The beautiful faun/falls/(?)

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
