If You Wear That Velvet Dress lyrics

Tonight the moon is playing tricks again

I'm feeling seasick again

The whole world could just dissolve

Into a glass of water

I've been good

'Cause I know you don't want me to.

Do you really want me to be blue as you?

It's her daylight that gets me through

We've been here before

Last time you scratched at my door

The moon was naked and cold

I was like a two-year-old

Who just wanted more

If you wear that velvet dress

If you wear that velvet dress

Tonight the moon's drawn its curtains

It's a private show

No one else gonna know

I'm wanting

Sunlight, sunlight fills my room

It's sharp and it's clear

But nothing at all like the moon

It's okay

The struggle for things not to say

I never listened to you anyway

And I got my own hands to pray

But if you wear that velvet dress

If you wear that velvet dress

Tonight the moon is a mirror ball

Light flickers from across the hall

Who'll catch the star when it falls

(If you wear that velvet dress...)
