Magic toy shop


Mr Stark was one old lad,
Making toys was all he had,
But he didn’t care,
His heart was there.

And every day, in his magic shop,
Kids were running around a lot,
But he didn’t mind,
His heart was kind.

‘Sit around me,
Sit around me,
I’ve built a new toy for thee,
Come and see

Sit around me,
Sit around me,
I’ve built a new toy for
Thee, for thee.’

Poor old man,
With his naive plan,
Knew nothing.
But he was
Loved for his craft, not his
His silly laugh,
And his magic was sure waisted,
When the kids showed their real faces.

So the old man lost his way,
And the toyshop wasn’t there to stay,
And the kids, they walked out,
Fair, they didn’t care.

His empty windows, put to rest,
Drew the looks like a dead man’s chest
And the kids, they went away,
They wouldn’t stay.


‘Sit around me,
Sit around me,
I’ve built a new toy for thee,
Come and see

Sit around me,
Sit around me,
I’ve built a new toy for
Thee, for thee.’

Poor old man,
With his naive plan,
Knew nothing.
But he was
Loved for his craft, not his
His silly laugh,
And his magic was sure waisted,
When the kids showed their real faces.

about

Helena London, UK

I come from a classical music background, having spent most of my childhood years performing around as a pianist and blissfully ignoring the world of pop music. I went on to study piano at Music Academy Zagreb and classical music at Cambridge University, secretly writing pop songs on the side. Two years later I've finally decided to put some of them online and see what happens! Hope you enjoy it! ... more
