Summer Dress

Summer Dress - Shawn Colvin (肖恩·卡文)

Composed by：Shawn Colvin/John Leventhal

I put on my finest Summer dress

So light and thin it was my best

I brushed my hair I held my breath

I went out to face the wilderness

I went out to face the wilderness

The men in hats

The boys on bikes

The perfect girls

The baby dikes

The superstars blighted ones

I went out to face them one by one

I went out to face them one by one

I said goodbye Mary-anne

As you turn to watch me

Don't cry Mary-anne

And don't try to stop me

'Cause I'm gonna go where the lights are bright

Where sacred secrets sail like kites

We've been sleepin' girl all our lives

And we never lived no we just survived

And we never lived We just survived

I'll take my heart I'll take my key

And find out who could care for me

Are there pots of gold

Are there floods and fires

Are there thieves and beggars

Or Saints and liars

Are there thieves and beggars

Or saints and liars

And so Goodbye Mary-anne

As you turn to watch me

Don't cry Mary-anne

And don't try to stop me

I put on my finest Summer dress

So light and thin torn at the chest

I brushed my hair I held my breath

I went out to face the wilderness

I went out to face the wilderness

Mary-anne

Mary-anne don't cry

Mary-anne
