Lyrics

Treehouse through the cottage window

Reflecting on a nostalgic memory of observing a treehouse through a cottage window.

Our dreams were big our minds were simple

Recalling a time when dreams were ambitious, and life was uncomplicated.

Like a flower we were beautiful and pure

We were high on innocence every day
