Dress

Baby, put your best dress on
We'll take the bridge across the river
Early signs are all good
It's gonna be a hell of a day

You've moved on, I've moved on
You could load up a train with all the history we got
But you could take my arms and I could whisper
All the things you'd like to hear

Oh, you ain't mine any longer
We've both gotten so much stronger
But we could just pretend for a day

Baby, put some flowers in your hair
I'll pick 'em up by the university
Baby, put your best dress on
But don't put it on till I get there

I'm just back from Johannesburg
And your voice pops up in funny places
I'd like to spend all the money I got
Just to make you happy

I don't belong to you
You got your own life too
But we could just pretend for a day

Ooh, I'll protect you from the wind
Ooh, I'd listen to your stories till my head spins
'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round and

Baby, put your best dress on
You know the one I mean
The one you wore on the beach
The day the sky turned green

Tomorrow we can pick up where we left off
You can pick up your sword, I'll pick up mine
I'm on my way over
And I hope you open your door

Oh, maybe we can never go back
This train's long gone down this track
But we could just pretend for a day

Baby, put your best dress on
Best dress on
Best dress on
