My sadness does escape me now.
I care not where I go.
The black old man takes off my clothes,
and throws me in the snow.

I gave you all I had to tell
and you gave me your will.
Well that's enouogh to wind a clock,
but not enough to kill.

Go away my precious doll,
Get thee gone from here.
When I close my eyes to sleep,
Please do not appear.

I emptied out your bag of toys,
and let them spin their web,
but oddly as I watched them turn,
my love begins to ebb.

I run like blood through open doors,
I go where hope bends me.
You're in my guts but evermore
our hearts will not agree.

Go away my precious doll,
Get thee gone from here.
When I close my eyes to sleep,
Please do not appear.

Go away my precious doll,
Get thee gone from here.
When I close my eyes to sleep,
Please do not appear.

When I close my eyes to sleep,
Please do not appear.
