Summer Dress
Lyricist:Shawn Colvin, John Leventhal
I put on my finest summer dress So light and thin, it was my best I brushed my hair, I held my breath I went out to face the wilderness I went out to face the wilderness
The men in hats, the boys on bikes The perfect girls, the baby dykes The superstars, the blighted ones I went out to face them one by one I went out to face them one by one
And so goodbye MaryAnn As you turn to watch me Don't cry MaryAnn And don't try to stop me
'Cause I'm gonna go where the lights are bright Where sacred secrets sail like kites We've been sleeping girl all our lives And we never lived, we just survived And we never lived, we just survived Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
I'll take my heart, I'll take my key And I'll find out who, who could care for me Are there pots of gold, are there floods and fires? Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars? Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars?
And so goodbye MaryAnn As you turn to watch me Don't cry MaryAnn And don't try to stop me
I put on my finest summer dress So light and thin, torn at the chest I brushed my hair, held my breath I went out to face the wilderness I went out to face the wilderness
MaryAnn, MaryAnn Don't cry
MaryAnn
