Lyrics for My Favourite Dress
Sometimes these words just don't have to be said I know how you both feel the heart can rule the head Jealousy is an essential part of love The hurting here below and the emptiness above, oh There's always something left behind There's always something left behind Never mind oh never mind The tender caresses that bring out the man I can't still be drunk at five, oh I guess I surely can Slowly your beauty is eaten away By the scent of someone else in the blanket where we lay, oh There's always something left behind There's always something left behind Maybe next time Uneaten meals, a lonely star A welcome ride in a neighbours' car A long walk home, the pouring rain I fell asleep when you never came Some rare delight in Manchester town It took six hours before you let me down To see it all in a drunken kiss A stranger's hand on my favorite dress oh That was my favorite dress you know That was my favorite dress
