The Puppeteer Songtext
THE PUPPETEER 1. A carpenter and two companions So a fairytale is told His friends were made of wood and velvet He himself was frail, old and grey From town to town, through woods, o?er meadows He fought to carry on To find a place with many a children For whom he can play - when they say Refrain Wanderer, wanderer, show me your puppets. Wanderer, wanderer, play them for me. 2. So, he went on, just traveling around With the years passing by His clothes on his back were his only possessions On his never-ending way he will play. His fee was the laughter of children?s faces And wide opened eyes When he comes to town to liven up his puppets For the people astray ? when they say Refrain Wanderer, wanderer, show me your puppets. Wanderer, wanderer, play them for me. 3. One day, when he went away One of the children didn?t come home And the people in the village said: Blame you! Shame on you! Oh, bring back the child within one day Otherwise ? never come back. 4. Deeply touched he went away Not knowing where to begin He had to find the little child To bring it back to it?s family But when the sun began to set ? Still looking for the missing child ? The wanderer saw a bony tree Form where he heared a tiny voice Refrain Wanderer, wanderer, show me your puppets. Wanderer, wanderer, play them for me. Wanderer, wanderer, show me your puppets. Wanderer, wanderer, take care of me.
