Wooden Figurine

[Verse 1] It is not easy to let go Of the wooden figurine That the mother carved from scratch Building bridges inbetween Where we built too many bridges Over troubled water, see Where the puppetji with stiches Tried to dance marionet free [Pre-Chorus] And I held it like a promise Like it might still learn to breathe But the shape in my hands Was always meant to leave [Chorus] Wooden figurine Come back to me Wooden figurine Or let me be (letting me be) Wooden figurine I see you still Wooden figurine By force of will (by force of will) [Verse 2] As the first of procreation Now as childless woman be Filling in the empty stations Empty glasses to set free Where entitlement took over Instead of knowing to release Wishing with an Irish clover That time would gently freeze [Pre-Chorus] And I held it like a question With no answer in the seams What I thought was forever Was a lesson in between [Chorus] Wooden figurine Come back to me Wooden figurine Or let me be (letting me be) Wooden figurine I see you still Wooden figurine By force of will (by force of will) [Bridge] Seeing potentials in all In the grain, in the bruise, in the fall Even love can lose its footing Even hands can learn to call So I lay it on the table Let the silence do its thing And the heart that kept on gripping Starts to soften, starts to sing [Final Chorus] Wooden figurine Come back to me Wooden figurine Or let me be (letting me be) Wooden figurine I see you still Wooden figurine I set you free (I set you free)
