You called for me so here I am
Not a boy and not a man
Man enough to know the odds are long
They dress you up and keep you clean
Like courtiers around a queen
Show you good from bad, right from wrong
All the tears in the world
All the tears in the world
Won t mend a broken doll
The little things in life escape her
Dolls are made of rags and paper
China cracks and chips so easily
Doesn t have the will, the strength
To hold the world out at arm s length
Skin s too thin, eyes too wide to see
All the tears in the world
All the tears in the world
Won t mend a broken doll
Wish I could give love to you
And life to you and hope to you
As you look through me to something else
In your face I think I see
Twisted-up infinity
Angel soul imprisoned in a shell
All the tears in the world
All the tears in the world
Won t mend a broken doll
