Ed Harcourt - 13 Little Dolls lyrics

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 Thirteen dolls are 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, but hurts like hell But to those who live the shaded path They won't betray their wooden mask Fight them, hide them, keep them safe Those thirteen little dolls One for each mood of the day Those thirteen little dolls Cross your heart and try to sleep Leave them out to play One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen little dolls See I was told a tale Of witches in a box Lift the led and spirits rise I see them now of course Now they're here beside the bed I feel six and twenty 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 the black magic but a friend We're locked until the bitter end You would not believe the tales they tell The good, the bad, but hurts like hell Not apparent to the naked eye But with the third, it all takes flight Fight them, hide them, keep them safe Those thirteen little dolls One for each mood of the day Those thirteen little dolls Cross your heart and try to sleep Leave them out to play One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen little dolls (One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen) Fight them, hide them, keep them safe Those thirteen little dolls One for each mood of the day Those thirteen little dolls Cross your heart and try to sleep Leave them out to play One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen little dolls
