lyrics

Happy Dresses
Suppose we’ll be remembered
Talking you and me
Let’s hope that’s still a long wait and see
Not for my jokes, silly stories that I told
You wouldn’t wanna be a shadow of me
growing old, no, two
Happy dresses on a clothesline
Hung up to dry and to sway in the sunshine
Left and forgotten to conspire
in the moonshine
Worn by the winds of old time
Not for the evenings, eight in a week
I’d be down in bars saying
There’s something that I seek
You at home waiting
With your fingers crossed
Your mood in between I’m so worried
and get lost !
What about career, or more
the lack of it
Remember how we used to say
money, the heck with it
And I hope that our children
and a bunch of worthy heirs
Will think of you and me
as their one and only theirs
Happy dresses on a clothesline
Hung up to dry and to sway in the sunshine
Left and forgotten to conspire
in the moonshine
Worn by the winds of old time
