letra de tangled up puppet (live) - harry chapin

[intro]
here’s a song called “song to jamie” or “tangled up puppet.”

[verse 1]
there was a time that you curled up in my lap like a child
you’d cling to me smiling, your eyes wide and wild
now you slip through my arms, wave a passing h-llo
twist away and toss a kiss, laughing as you go

[verse 2]
you used to say “read me a story and sing me songs of love”
for you were princess paradise on the wings of a dove
now i chase you and tease you, trying to remake you my own
but you just turn away and say, “please leave me alone”
[chorus]
and i’m a tangled up puppet all hanging in your strings
i’m a b-tterfly in a spidеr’s web fluttering my wings
and the morе that i keep dancing and spinning ’round in knots
the more i see what used to be and the less of you i’ve got

[verse 3]
you are a drawer full of make-up and rinses and things
you keep changing your moods like your earrings and rings
but tonight while we played tag for five minutes in the yard
well, just for a moment i caught you off-guard

[chorus]
and i’m a tangled up puppet all hanging in your strings
i’m a b-tterfly in a spider’s web fluttering my wings
and the more that i keep dancing and spinning ’round in knots
the more i see what used to be and the less of you i’ve got

[bridge]
but now you write your secret poems in a room just for your dreams
you don’t find time to talk to me about the things you mean
(tangled, tangled, tangled)
what i mean is—

[verse 4]
i have watched you take shape from a jumble of parts
and find the grace and form of a fine work of art
hey you, my brand new woman, newly come into your own
don’t you know that you don’t need to grow up all alone?
[outro]
thank you. i love you.
