Wind Me Up Let Me Go

 

 

I heard this song today and I thought I would have a contest on the lyrics. Listen to or read the lyrics and then take them where ever they lead your muse. I look forward to reading some wonderful poetry. Sandy

Wind Me Up Let Me Go

I'm just a little tin soldier in your hands
I'm good for nothing but to obey your commands
You'll never really love me, I know
So wind me up, let me go

I'm just your plaything 'till you see someone else
But even tin soldier have hearts don't you know
So wind me up, let me go

You don't really need me
You have hundred other toys
And teardrops don't look good

In the eyes of soldier boy
So pick me up and hold me one more time
That's just a consolation for this heart of mine
Whisper a sweet word to the one who loved you so
Then wind me up let me go
Then wind me up let me go
Let me go

Rules...
1. No chat talk
2. No erotica (sensual fine)
3. Rhyme or Free Verse

    WOW;
    I get a flash of a warning from this...
    that I am just a puppet on string...
    and others are just stringing me along...
    to let me fall...as that's where they get their thrill.
    and their temperary power.

    thank you
    for the warning!
