Puppet Theatre, Strings at Rest
by Odalys Fern

Lyrics
Curtain closed, the stage is still Little puppets on the sill Wooden hands and painted eyes Dreaming under velvet skies Rest your strings, rest your strings Quiet now, the silence sings Rest your strings, rest your strings Stay close, I'm right here, soft things Tiny crown and paper moon Tangled threads in the afternoon Every story's tucked away Waiting for another day Rest your strings, rest your strings Quiet now, the silence sings Rest your strings, rest your strings Stay close, I'm right here, soft things Lamps are low and dust is gold Tales are warm and tales are old Close your eyes, the show is done Sleep until the morning sun Rest your strings, rest your strings Quiet now, the silence sings Rest your strings, rest your strings Stay close, I'm right here, soft things Rest your strings Rest your strings
