The Dress

The shaking in my hands

Will it ever quit?

I’m near the door

I just have to open it

Will you recognise my face

When you see me in the light?

If you feel out of place

Maybe this could make it right

I could wear the dress you used to know

When my innocence was not for show

If I could punch a hole through time

I’d put back every star

I’ve lost the heart to shine because I let you down

Telephones have a way of changing lives

When I heard your voice

I sat there paralysed

Then a picture gripped my mind

The tears could not erase

What tonight will find

I don’t know but just in case

I could wear the dress

You used to know

When my innocence

Was not for show

If I could punch a hole through time

I’d put back every star

I’ve lost the heart to shine

Because I let you go

And now you’re just on the other side

And I’m so scared I just wanna run and hide

I don’t know what I will say to you

But darling I know something that will give you a clue

I could wear the dress

You used to know

When my innocence

Was not for show

If I could punch a hole through time

I’d put back every star

I’ve lost the heart to shine

Because I let you go
