Lyrics for If You Wear That Velvet Dress

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
