Lyrics
In the attic’s gloom
Where the cold wind creeps,
A forgotten toy, lies in the dark,
Silently weeps,
His painted face is cracked,
His eyes have grown hollow and black,
But he waits in his darkness,
Hoping you will come back.
Turn the crank,
Hear the mournful sound,
No child’s laughter, no joy to be found,
Forgotten toy, your purpose is lost,
Abandoned here,
Paying time’s cruel cost.
His song now a whisper,
His dance is a broken thrill,
A forgotten toy,
Trapped by the rusting chill.
His colors are faded, and worn,
Ripped up, broken and torn
Yet he waits in his silence,
Tangled in his own thorns
Turn the crank,
Hear the mournful sound,
No child’s laughter, no joy around,
Forgotten toy, your purpose is lost,
Abandoned here,
Paying time’s cruel cost.
Wind him up,
See if the music still plays
Now that the boy is grown up,
Jack will decay
His laughter is dark,
But his smile is s still wide,
The only song he had,
Was thrown to the side
