about

Part IV of "The Garden" Song Cycle

lyrics

Wrought out and numb and back on the mend
You're a little bitty princess with a castle to defend
Tattered and torn and frayed at the ends
You're a comfort to strangers but dead to your friends

Silk purses and handbags for every occasion
And if charity is dead then you'll take the donation
One's as good as another, it's just a vocation
'Til the tank runs dry and you take a vacation

Little glass soldiers laid by the door
Watchful and silent and ready for war

The maid's got her orders, whatever your wish is
She never bats an eye
She'll hide all the jewelry, the keepsakes and riches
Whenever a neighbor stops by
With a robust defense 'gainst their deft sales pitches
She never leaves any doubt
And she sends them away and goes back to the dishes
While upstairs you've barely dried out

(chorus)
