13 Little Dolls

Darkness ain't a sin

It's the visions in your head

Leave it on the windowsill, it's for them now instead

Do you think they know your heart?

It wouldn't be a big surprise

Because the pendulum will swing

Whenever night arrives

13 go a-wandering from grandma's hands to mine

And I'll never be alone

I'm cursed and I am blessed

It's all and it is less

You would not believe the tales they tell

The good, the bad, the hurts like hell

Burden those who live the shaded path

They won't betray their wooden mask

Find them, hide them, keep them safe

Those 13 little dolls

One for each mood of the day

Those 13 little dolls

Cross your heart and dare to sleep

Leave them out to play

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 little dolls

See I was told a tale

Of witches in a box

Lift the lid and spirits rise,

And I see them now, of course

Now they're here beside the bed

I feel 6 and 20 eyes

Because for every twist and turn

Those dolls will catch the mystery

Tell them every fear I have and let it set me free

It's a black magic but a friend

We're locked until the bitter end

You would not believe the tales they tell

The good, the bad, the hurts like hell

Not apparent to the naked eye

But with the third, it all takes flight

Find them, hide them, keep them safe

Those 13 little dolls

One for each mood of the day

Those 13 little dolls

Cross your heart and dare to sleep

Leave them out to play

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 little dolls

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 13

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 13

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 13

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 13

Find them, hide them, keep them safe

Those 13 little dolls

One for each mood of the day

Those 13 little dolls

Cross your heart and dare to sleep

Leave them out to play

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 little dolls
