Broken Doll Lyrics - Still - Richard Thompson

You called for me so here I am 

Not a boy and not a man 

Man enough to know the odds are long 

They dress you up and keep you clean 

Like courtiers around a queen 

Show you good from bad, right from wrong 

All the tears in the world 

All the tears in the world 

Won't mend a Broken Doll 

The little things in life escape her 

Dolls are made of rags and paper 

China cracks and chips so easily 

Doesn't have the will, the strength 

To hold the world out at arm's length 

Skin's too thin, eyes too wide to see 

All the tears in the world 

All the tears in the world 

Won't mend a Broken Doll 

Wish I could give love to you 

And life to you and hope to you 

As you look through me to something else 

In your face I think I see 

Twisted-up infinity 

Angel soul imprisoned in a shell 

All the tears in the world 

All the tears in the world 

Won't mend a Broken Doll
