Puppet Dance Lyrics
Why did you leave me all alone?
Why didn't you tell me you were going home?
Everything changes; now you're gone
Making me wonder how to carry on
Over and over; you gave to me
I wish I had told you what you meant to me
Why does it always have to end?
Losing a loved one is so hard
Oh my Lord; is it right?
By the light of the darkest night
You're never gonna see
You're never gonna see me cryin'
Where's the warmth of the sun?
Was there something that I should have done?
Oh, why'd you have to leave?
Oh, why'd you have to leave me cryin'?
What I would give just to hear you laugh
All I have left is just a photograph
Oh, to have known you all those years
I wish I had known how; how to dry your tears
Everything matters when you're young
Everything shatters when the day is done
Everything falters in the end
Losing a loved one is so hard
Oh my Lord; is it right?
By the light of the darkest night
You're never gonna see
You're never gonna see me cryin'
Where's the warmth of the sun?
Was there something that I should have done?
Oh, why'd you have to leave?
Oh, why'd you have to leave me cryin'?
Oh my Lord; is it right?
By the light of the darkest night
You're never gonna see
You're never gonna see me cryin'
Where's the warmth of the sun?
Was there something that I could have done?
Oh, why'd you have to leave?
Oh, why'd you have to leave me cryin'?
So many feelings rushing in
It's too late for thinking how we could have been
Who knows the reason was meant to be?
It's gonna be lonely when you wait for me
Why didn't you tell me you were going home?
Everything changes; now you're gone
Making me wonder how to carry on
Over and over; you gave to me
I wish I had told you what you meant to me
Why does it always have to end?
Losing a loved one is so hard
By the light of the darkest night
You're never gonna see
You're never gonna see me cryin'
Where's the warmth of the sun?
Was there something that I should have done?
Oh, why'd you have to leave?
Oh, why'd you have to leave me cryin'?
All I have left is just a photograph
Oh, to have known you all those years
I wish I had known how; how to dry your tears
Everything matters when you're young
Everything shatters when the day is done
Everything falters in the end
Losing a loved one is so hard
By the light of the darkest night
You're never gonna see
You're never gonna see me cryin'
Where's the warmth of the sun?
Was there something that I should have done?
Oh, why'd you have to leave?
Oh, why'd you have to leave me cryin'?
By the light of the darkest night
You're never gonna see
You're never gonna see me cryin'
Where's the warmth of the sun?
Was there something that I could have done?
Oh, why'd you have to leave?
Oh, why'd you have to leave me cryin'?
It's too late for thinking how we could have been
Who knows the reason was meant to be?
It's gonna be lonely when you wait for me

I think it's safe to say that "Puppet Dance" is about the tragedy of losing a loved one. There are so many questions one asks oneself following the death of someone who's held dear, and this song really captures that.
"Why'd you have to leave me?" "Oh my Lord, is it right?" (Did he/she have to die?) "Was there something that I could have done?"
I get the feeling that Hodgson must have lost someone he loved very dearly in order to write a song with as much meaning and emotion as this one.
Yeah. The song is clearly about losing someone special hearted to you. With questions and feelings all rushing in. What are the most questions that are probably asked to one self. \n\n"Was there something that I should have done?"\n"Oh my Lord, is it right?" "Will you wait for me?" \n"Why did you leave me all alone.."
