Red House Puppet Dog

Chorus

In a red house on the avenue

There's a puppet dog just staring through

Strings are tangled, afternoons are slow

Counting footsteps as the world goes cold

Post-Chorus

Oh oh ah ah

Red house, puppet dog

Oh oh ah ah

Everyone’s moved on

Verse 2

Curtains faded at the window frame

No more laughter, no one calls its name

Toys abandoned, carpet growing thin

Waiting for a friend that won’t come in

Pre-Chorus

Outside the garden grows too tall

Inside he listens for a call

A postage stamp, a paper sign

That someone lost track of time

Chorus

In a red house on the avenue

There's a puppet dog just staring through

Strings are tangled, afternoons are slow

Counting footsteps as the world goes cold

Post-Chorus

Oh oh ah ah

Red house, puppet dog

Oh oh ah ah

Everyone’s moved on

Bridge

Dusty sunlight seeps beneath the door

Footsteps echo but they're not yours

One last shuffle, wooden heart on thread

Memories linger long after they're said

Chorus

In a red house on the avenue

There's a puppet dog just staring through

Strings are tangled, afternoons are slow

Counting footsteps as the world goes cold

Post-Chorus

Oh oh ah ah

Red house, puppet dog

Oh oh ah ah

Everyone’s moved on

Outro

Cardboard moonlight shining pale and blue

Paint peels gently, but he’s true to you

Silence settles, dreaming of the day

Someone comes back down that old driveway

Post-Chorus

Oh oh ah ah

Red house, puppet dog

Oh oh ah ah

Still waiting on and on
