Angela Lang - Trinkets for Talula
lyrics
Little painted mice
Black fading eyes
Porcelain lad with a broken red kite.
She whispers to their shadows every night.

A peculiar girl they say
He waits behind the counter anyway
secretly hoping she'll come today.
He gazes out the window as the customers pay.

Talula...

Funny how Talula,
she adores
little things they do not relish
anymore.
He saves them in a box in
back of the store.
Marked with big letters...
Trinkets for Talula

Carousel that winds
plays a song from bitter times.
A memory that someone's brought to leave behind.
He thinks of sweet Talula as they resign..

Talula

He greets her with a smile
says "Come in and stay awhile".
Shows her all the pieces he's compiled
with eyes so hazel, sweet and mild

Chorus

Little painted mice
carousel that winds,
little things that others gone and left behind
bring her sweet thoughts about him every night.

Oooooh Oooooh
Oooooh Oooooh....
