Worry Doll

It’s getting near the end, said the paper to the pen
These words were once like towers, now their power’s wearing thin
The curtain’s on the ground and the cross is upside down
The crops are all abandoned and it’s gold rush in the town

Haley, won’t you wait around and see
Cause there might be something real inside a dream
It’s last call so be my worry doll
Down the road and up the hall, see what it brings
See what it brings

I’ve given everything, said the puppet to the string
I used to feel like dancing, now all I do is swing
The holy statue bleeds and the moon is in the weeds
The storm is growing closer, but now no one even sees

Haley, won’t you wait around and see
Cause there might be something real inside a dream
It’s last call so be my worry doll
Down the road and up the hall, see what it brings
See what it brings

I’m headed out the door, said the carpet to the floor
I can’t forget the bad times so I’ll leave them in the drawer
And every time I see that barn owl in the tree
I’ll say a prayer for Fernwood and toast what used to be

Haley, won’t you wait around and see
Cause there might be something real inside a dream
It’s last call so be my worry doll
Down the road and up the hall, see what it brings
See what it brings
