The Lion And The Doll

The Lion And The Doll - Ornette

Will you still try catch the lion by now

Kept under close watch

Not to break out from here

Tamed with love for entertainement

By fairies and monsters and glitter galore

Forget this love

Let it loose in the crowd

He's not a man for you

Night after night

Day after day

I see your love

Rising on stage

Rising on stage

Will you come to the fore with me again

I'll sing with pride for you again and again

The little doll is lost in silent wonder

Tries to hide her agitation

Forget this love

Let it loose in the crowd

He's not a man for you

Night after night

Day after day

I see your love

Soaring on stage

Soaring on stage

Who knows if the lion is asleep in it's cage

Kept under close watch by a little doll

Who would give everything she has

Her little kingdom for a king

Forget this love

Let it lose in the crowd

He's not a man for you

Night after night

Day after day

I see your love
