Original Song, Music Box, By Jennifer Rafferty

Music box - Jennifer Rafferty © 2007

I have always had a fascination with Music Boxes.. I think they are beautiful things.. and I absolutely LOVE the sound of them.. and so I have always wanted to write a song about one.. I wanted to write a song, with a sort of 'dark story' in it... so I got to thinkin.. what's more sad than a broken music box?? It's lost all it's purpose in the world.. and the little dancer inside has no where to go!! . . so basically this song is about losing the one thing that means the most to you in the world.. and having to carry on after that.. sort of on auto pilot!! . . bit of a sad tale!!

p.s.. I really feel that this song would be better suited to an animation!! if anyone feels they would like to, then PLEASE DO!! :) I don;t have the software to create one! x x x

Lyrics
You found a box, a Golden box with hearts painted on the side,
You wiped away the dust, and lifted up the lid
You looked inside, a frail little girl with nowhere to hide
Was dancing in a mirror, she didn't say a word

She spun around, but there was no sound
The Key wouldn't turn
The music wouldn't play

ChORUS
A broken music box, a girl who couln't cry
A look into a secret world where no one questions why
and with no song, a broken heart she tries to sing
But when the music stopped she lost everything..
When the music stopped she couldn't feel a thing

She noticed you, but like an open door she just stared right through
she's going round in circles
It's something you can't mend
and so she'll keep on pretending
that she has a reason for dancing
Sometimes the biggest lie, is easier than the truth

Bridge
She thinks of how it used to be
When dancing came so easily
and every dance was beautiful
and every chance she took she'd fly
away beyond,
the darkened walls
believing in the one thing that was real
the music she could feel .....
