lyrics

'Golden Dress'.
Words and Music by Thom Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2010. All Rights Reserved.

Well they say that you are wise,
And good looking as the South,

That you walked a country mile,
Before you were a city girl,

You tell to me your tale,
But only when I’m gone,

A bag of contradictions,
A bag of nerves you are,

A bag of contradictions,
A bag of nerves you are.



I tell to you my tale,
And my story in my way,

And I watch you turn to stone,
Watch you disappear into the working day,

And I’ve seen what I should not
I’ve seen what I should not,

I’ve seen what I should not,
But I can’t help but watch,


As your golden dress comes down,
Like the Stanley Spencer painting,
Where the hearts on the stove are all upside-down,

It’s awkward but it’s mine,
It’s hidden but it’s obvious this time…


Walking alone by the sea-side,
I can smell the wood-smoke coming from a real fire,
And I know that you are well,

The clock ticks on my wrist,
A dog barks in the distance,
By the rocks that are covered up only when the tide if fully in,

Long live summertime,
I don’t want the wind to blow me,
From the family that I write to on the back of a postcard from the Norman Road sometimes,

I take a deep breath,
And I take a good look at my life,
And for the first time,
I don’t wanna be anywhere but here,


When your golden dress comes down,
Like a tribal mask across my mouth,

As I kneel down,
And loose myself in the moment,
God knows how,

And loose myself in the moment,
God knows how.


I tell to you my tale,
And my story in my way,

And I walked many a mile,
To stand with you today,

Well you’ve changed and so have I
But don’t let that get in the way,

You’re a bag of contradictions,
That’s what you used to say,

A bag of contradictions,
That’s what you used to say,

A bag of contradictions,
Let’s keep it that way.
