Dresses

In the middle of my mourning

Sits joy like a happy child

In the middle of this death

I must cry with life for a while

And death is great

We are in his keep, laughing and whole

When we feel deep in life

He dares weep, deep in our soul

So you are gone

And you are perfect now

And you, you like to dress

You wear dresses that never fade

In the middle of my mourning

Sits joy like a happy child

In the middle of this death

I must cry with life for a while

So you are gone

And you are perfect now

And you, you like to dress

You wear dresses that never fade

So you are gone

(My mother cried she said you'd gone away)

Are perfect now

(And now a part of me must do the same)

You like to dress

(But I know I must be thankful)

You wear dresses that never fade

You wear dresses that never fade

You wear dresses that never fade
