《Tangled up Puppet》歌词

[00:00:00] Tangled Up Puppet - Harry Chapin

[00:00:08] I'm a tangled up puppet

[00:00:11] Spinning round in knots

[00:00:14] And the more I see what I used to be

[00:00:18] The less of you I've got

[00:00:22] There was a time

[00:00:23] That you curled up in my lap; like a child

[00:00:29] You'd cling to me smiling

[00:00:32] Yours eyes wide and wild

[00:00:35] Now you slip through my arms

[00:00:38] Wave a passing hello

[00:00:42] Twist away and toss a kiss

[00:00:45] Laughing as you go

[00:00:49] You used to say

[00:00:50] "Read me a story and sing me songs of love"

[00:00:56] For you were Princess Paradise like your wings of a dove

[00:01:02] Now I chase you

[00:01:04] And tease you trying to remake you my own

[00:01:09] But you just turn away and say "please leave me alone"

[00:01:20] And I'm a tangled up puppet

[00:01:23] All hanging in your strings

[00:01:26] I'm a butterfly in a spider's web

[00:01:30] Fluttering my wings

[00:01:33] And the more that I keep dancing

[00:01:36] And spinning round in knots

[00:01:39] The more I see what I used to be

[00:01:43] And the less of you I've got

[00:01:47] You are a drawer full of make up

[00:01:50] And rinses and things

[00:01:54] You keep changing your moods

[00:01:57] Like your earrings and rings

[00:02:00] But tonight while we played tag

[00:02:03] For five minutes in the yard

[00:02:07] Just for a moment I caught you off guard

[00:02:17] And I'm a tangled up puppet

[00:02:21] All hanging in your strings

[00:02:24] I'm a butterfly in a spider's web

[00:02:28] Fluttering my wings

[00:02:31] And the more that I keep dancing

[00:02:34] And spinning round in knots

[00:02:37] The more I see what I used to be

[00:02:40] And the less of you I've got

[00:02:45] But now you write your secret poems

[00:02:48] In a room just for your dreams

[00:02:52] You don't find time to talk to me

[00:02:55] About the things you mean

[00:03:03] What I mean is

[00:03:06] I have watched you take shape from a jumble of parts

[00:03:13] And find the grace and form of a fine work of art

[00:03:19] Hey you my brand new woman

[00:03:23] Newly come into your own

[00:03:27] Don't you know that you don't need to grow up all alone
