Worry Doll Lyrics
Time doesn't fly
It trickles by down by your feet
Where you can't see it go
But you can feel the tickle as it flows
My worry doll
You mark your days in made-up ways
Just throw the calendar away
And let the sun spin you round the poles
See it's alright, it's okay
You've got strong blood in your veins
Worry doll, worry not
You've got strong blood in your veins
If I sing the right things
Maybe you'll stay forever this way
These things I pray
It's not the end, the end of days
This giant bed we've made
In it we lie, lie, lie lie
One raindrop putting out a brush fire
You throw yourself into the heat
This ends predictably and you turn back to me
See it's alright, it's okay
You've got strong blood in your veins
Worry doll, worry not
You've got strong blood in your veins
If I sing the right things
Maybe you'll stay forever this way
We got lost
And I'm so happy when we get lost
When we get lost
I'm so happy when we get lost
I'm so happy when we get lost
It trickles by down by your feet
Where you can't see it go
But you can feel the tickle as it flows
You mark your days in made-up ways
Just throw the calendar away
And let the sun spin you round the poles
You've got strong blood in your veins
Worry doll, worry not
You've got strong blood in your veins
If I sing the right things
Maybe you'll stay forever this way
It's not the end, the end of days
This giant bed we've made
In it we lie, lie, lie lie
You throw yourself into the heat
This ends predictably and you turn back to me
You've got strong blood in your veins
Worry doll, worry not
You've got strong blood in your veins
If I sing the right things
Maybe you'll stay forever this way
And I'm so happy when we get lost
When we get lost
I'm so happy when we get lost
I'm so happy when we get lost

From Tanya's Bandcamp: "This is the oldest song in the series, written to my daughters. The chorus is a homemade lullaby I sang to the littler one (Harriet) when she was a baby. A predictably maternal shortlist of broad suggestions: don't be afraid to be strong, try to live outside of clock and calendar (as least as much as a relatively sane life allows), choose your battles, get lost sometimes. Written with Dean, whose parental advice is a lot more practical."
