Bel Esprit

(Keep me in mind)

The old world is changing; we must re-invent
I've painted your eyes on porcelain
A warm orange glow from show windows
Expensive clothes on mannequins
That fabric is left to waste on silhouettes

A marionette could never choose to live
Like you would have done as a girl
And with the musette, she pirouettes
Then I see you instead
She will have your name

The scripture is vague but he must find it profane
(An hour to build you)
To remake your body from wood
(And dress you in linen and lace)
You bel esprit
You prodigy
You masterpiece to be made
Your strings are ladders to Heaven
The Blackbird did sing
"Climb up to me-
All that I dream you became
...my dreams have faded back to gray..."

I could have wept
A marionette could never move her limbs
Her movements projected by the hand
Over her head
She pirouettes, then I see you instead
She will have your face
