Lyrics:

D           G         D
Lost in the valley of vaults/dolls/Oz(?)
G             D            G        D
Fell from the path, it was nobody's fault
Bm      A
That I was alone.
D    G                D
Time dripped from the trees
G                     - D
Left through the nail           (I leapt through a lamp/land/lap(?) (?))
G          D     G          A
I fell to my knees before the throne
Bm           G            Bm
And the crown was covered jewels, sparkling schools
A
The beautiful faun/falls/[?]
G                      A
The magnificent battle was fought
Bm         G                A
And Cinderella's soldier fish was caught
Bm            A
And the lady from the lake
Bm              A
Who helped me to escape
G            Em      A
Led me to myself at last
Em              A            Bm         /A/D
Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house

G   D      G            D
The flower fled from my feet,
G          D                 G           D
Tom Sawyer voice through the hole of the key,
Bm        A
Landed so gently.
D         G            D
Castles cover the cave,
G        D           G            D
I had no choice, the visions were brave
Bm            A
And the phantoms were friendly,
Bm               G
And Pirate Jenny was dancing for pennies,
Bm                       A
The knucklebones tossed in a spin,
G                   A
There were silver songs on her skin.
Bm                G                  A
And she wasn't caring when the ship came in.

And the lady from the lake
Helped me to escape
Led me to myself at last,
Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house

D       G              D
My costume dropped to the floor,
G        D                G         D
Naked at last, I couldn't fight any-more,
Bm          A
And the service was rendered.
D   G             D     G          D
A poem fell from the wine, buried the past.
G          D            Bm          A
The future was mine and the present sur-rendered.
Bm               G
And the ballet master is beckoning faster,
Bm            A             G                 A
The ballerina was posed, in the fragile beauty we froze.
Bm              G               A
Let go, let go, let go, let go, let go.

And the lady from the lake
Who helped me to escape
Left me with myself at last
Though I danced with the doll in the doll house
