The Red Dress (written 9/02)

She’s in a red dress

And her hearts in the right place

The cravings call her inside

But she’ll never lie to your face

She’s got an innocence

Just like the faces of her kids

And then a devil inside calls

And it overtakes her in fits

She turns out all the lights

And listens to the angels sing

Lovely places lovely spaces

But her ears still ring and ring

Chorus

Ohh the lights up in the sky

Take her wings and fly

Over the mountains

Carry her pain up high

Into the sky

Carry her pain up into the sky

Carry her pain up high

Just grasping just holding on

To afraid to let go and move on

Let the love inside become her being

Let it flow and stop all this teasing

She’s got a heart of gold with a silver lining

Inside there’s a hollow space pining

For more love more inspiration

For more time less obligation

She will build up all around her

And stare up at her deeds

Never building a high rise

To fulfill her own needs

Chorus

Ohh the lights up in the sky…
