lyrics

DRESSED UP IN LOVE words & music: bill mallonee

And the distance is wide and the chasm is deep
and all those city lights? they just put you to sleep
for the sake of a friend you will fake it
never quite sure if you’re gonna make it
Chorus:
And what to say about all this fractured-ness?
when it breathes a little too close; to close for comfort
May you know his caress, may you always be blessed
May you always be dressed up in love

In the early morning rain they take the leaving trains
and you wish they would stay but they don’t see it that way
Doesn’t anybody hear those symphonies of Autumn?
and we’re all left alone...throughly modern

And the distance is wide and the chasm is deep
and all those city lights? they just put you to sleep
for the sake of a friend you will fake it
never quite sure if you can take it

And it breaks in your hands...and he never calls
it’s all fragile and delicate...china doll
and the distance gets wide and there’s nothing to savor
Where’s your shiny knight?
Where’s your savior?

Repeat chorus
