Lyrics

BabyDoll

I dreamt about a boat last night
I was drowning late last night
When I woke up I was soaking wet

I left my soul upon the tide
I left my poetry inside
While the bolts of life were tightening

You know the tide?s my only friend
It will take me anytime, I don?t even have to ask
But now I?m cornered by the light leaving only me and her

Babydoll I know you can?t believe what I just said
I know I promised you the stack of hay where jesus lay his head
And I promised you the theory of my life in every song
I may be wrong
Leave it with me now babydoll

Broke out of prison many times
Thrown out of heaven many times
So I became a locksmith

They smashed my head against the wall
It?s nineteen forty after all
Do you think I could be dreaming again?

They took away my polished locks
Threw her body in a box and left me laying in the sea
I know she?s only in my dreams like the soldiers and me

Babydoll I know you can?t believe what I just said
I know I promised you the stack of hay where jesus lay his head
And I promised you the theory of my life in every song
I may be wrong
Leave it with me now babydoll

So now I have to figure out which one of you is real
As my dream and my reality take turns behind the wheel
Are you fortune? Are you fame? Are you water? Are you dust?
Are you her?
I may have to dream to see it all
So leave it with me now babydoll
