lyrics
I paid a penny for a puppet god
He did some magic tricks for me
But I was sad to find the magic gone
When I held the strings
I wrapped myself up in a patchwork god
To shield my body from the chill
But I was sad to find the wind and rain
Always found me still
Ooh, ooh, where are you
Ooh, ooh, where are you my love
And in my fingers held a paper god
No fold I could not understand
But as I grasped him all the tighter he
Grew smaller in my hands
So I set fire to these wooden gods
Who for one moment gave me light
And then I held up my two fingers
And walked into the night
Singing ooh, ooh, where are you
Ooh, ooh, where are you, my love
So I walk these wild spaces
To find some foliage still aflame
And how I long to hear the voice
That first called me by my name
I felt your hand upon my shoulder
I heard your whisper on the wind
And I can't shake the feeling that
You're haunting me again
He did some magic tricks for me
But I was sad to find the magic gone
When I held the strings
I wrapped myself up in a patchwork god
To shield my body from the chill
But I was sad to find the wind and rain
Always found me still
Ooh, ooh, where are you
Ooh, ooh, where are you my love
And in my fingers held a paper god
No fold I could not understand
But as I grasped him all the tighter he
Grew smaller in my hands
So I set fire to these wooden gods
Who for one moment gave me light
And then I held up my two fingers
And walked into the night
Singing ooh, ooh, where are you
Ooh, ooh, where are you, my love
So I walk these wild spaces
To find some foliage still aflame
And how I long to hear the voice
That first called me by my name
I felt your hand upon my shoulder
I heard your whisper on the wind
And I can't shake the feeling that
You're haunting me again
