Wood Doll

Lyrics

I carved stone figures out of wood
Turned lead into gold
You never did believe I could
All I did turned cold

Wood Doll, you were never meant to fly
Wood Doll, you weren't supposed to die
I never wanted to leave you
I didn't want to cry

You never were far from my reach
I always heard your voice
Undying passion in your speech
Left by accident, by choice

Wood Doll, you were never meant to fly
Wood Doll, you weren't supposed to die
I never wanted to leave you
I didn't want to cry

I'd write another sad, long verse
But I wouldn't know what to say
If you could rewrite your last lines
Would you be here with us today?

Wood Doll, you were never meant to fly
Wood Doll, you weren't supposed to die
I never wanted to leave you
I didn't want to cry

About the song:

Lyrics: Mike
Music: Mike

Mike wrote this song in July of 1994 late one evening.  It is about two talented artists that
died while in their prime, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone.  The 
title was derived from Andrew Wood's last name and Kurt's collection of rare dolls.  It's a very
simple song, and conveys its message well.  During the studio recording process, Steve ended the
song prematurly but re-entered later.  The verse where Steve dropped out is where the noise
guitar was overdubbed.  That version of the song turned out better than the way we had performed
it before, so we left it that way.

Instrumentation:

Jaeson: Vocals, Bass
Mike: Guitar
Steve: Drums
