lyrics
You don’t boil the kettle for me, but your dolls have perfect tea.
Tiny little dresses sewn by hand, miniature berets on the hat stand.
The care and love of one hundred years.
The doll house is all that she holds dear.
Her mind is like lost property, the connections she cannot see.
She knows all the dolls by name, but the nurses they all look the same.
Paper snowflakes fall as they may,
She doesn’t know that it’s Christmas day.
The doll house is what she calls home, she won’t answer the door or the telephone.
And if you ask her out to dine, you’ll be waiting for a very long time.
Thimble on a thumb but memory gone.
She’s forgotten the name of her only son.
The trees are quite scary when the grass is green.
She needs to go inside and give the house a good clean.
Nice to see you my son again.
Take care and by the way, my name is Ben.
The doll house is what she calls home, she won’t answer the door or the telephone.
And if you ask her out to dine, you’ll be waiting for a very long time.
The doll house is what she calls home, she won’t answer the door or the telephone.
She’ll forget him and she’ll forget you and eventually, she’ll forget me too.
