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
