Harriet Bartlett: "White Dress"


4/07/07
Ferneham Hall, Fareham, England

come from the window, let's climb the stairs
all of my sorrows are none of your cares
while life is in us, let's love all we can
i'll be your woman. you'll be my man
kiss me and i might
put on my white dress
if you'll take me dancing tonight
the night's in your face
the sky's in your eyes
the day's in my arms
when you're by my side
whenever you're weary
i'll sing you a song
whenever you're lonely
i'll show you you're wrong

--dave swarbrick (from "white dress")
