Wind Up Doll - Marissa Nadler

Wind her up, wind her up

It’s been years since she came

Over on the green plains to you

She calls his name

Shannaddee a dee a dee a dee

Over rock and sea

To her baby

When the box went in the ground

Cedar trees were all around

A war did take him from her town

And she ain’t nothing but a ghost now

Wind up doll

In the back

Wind up doll

Click and clack

Click and clack

She will never be what you want her to be

She has dreams

Every night

That the box of cedar where

Where you went to lay

Will come to life

Hold her on the greens

Hold her on the green plains

Like you used to do

But she ain’t nothing but a ghost you

You wind her up

In the back

Wind up doll

Click and clack

Click and clack

She will never be what you want her to be

Wind her up to walk and wind her up to speak

Hold her on the greens

Hold her on the green plains

Like you used to do

But she ain’t nothing but a ghost
