Playhouse on the Dock

Mamma's red dress was for special occasions

When she'd take me to the playhouse on the dock

She'd say keep your eyes on the hypnotic horizon you don't want to miss the magic

It felt good to get lost in it

Time passed much too fast, one hour became a few

But this world around me, what an

What an incredible view

I was kissed by the sunset where fairies would undress the sky

Fish turned to crystal, wind whistled blossoms by my eye

And then I'd wait for her to return to mе

There's nothing quite spеcial of home

So I'd long for these moments on my own

A colorful place to enjoy my escape and pretend all the heartache away

Left wondering why she left me alone

One day looking away, a man never seen before

He said the playhouse was for grownups, abandoned on

Abandoned on one side of the door

I was kissed by the sunset where fairies would undress the sky

Fish turned to crystal, wind whistled blossoms by my eye

Towering giraffes would distract in their petticoats

I'd laugh as my five year old feet dangled in the castle's moat

And then I'd wait for her

20 years later the magic disappeared

Mamma's long gone though I realize why we came here

Men would come just to see red behind locks

In that moment

The dock was just a dock

I was kissed by the sunset where fairies would undress the sky

Fish turned to crystal, wind whistled blossoms by my eye

Towering giraffes would distract in their petticoats

I'd laugh as my five year old feet dangled in the castle's moat

I would be mad, I could be mad

But Mamma wore that red dress for me
