Lady In a Dark Blue Dress

Words and music by Joe Dickinson

Out of nothing

Comes something

‘Til the opposite is true

Every day is a play

Unwritten

I’ve been lying here

Trying here

If only you knew

That in the smoke, I’d choke

I’d be bitten

When the world wears me down

And everything is a mess

I dance a waltz

With a lady in a dark blue dress

Paradise

Would be nice

But I can’t think that way

I’d stew, much ado

About nothing

Can you see

The little trees

As they struggle to stay

Awake, as they bake

In an oven

When the world wears me down

And I don’t feel my best

I’m in the clouds

With a lady in a dark blue dress

Every road

Is closed

‘Cept the one that I’m on

No choice, no voice

Nothing sadder

It’s a shame

And it’s lame

But you’ve got to stay strong

You’ve got to rise, and realize

It doesn’t matter

When the world wears me down

And there’s a pain in my chest

I make love

To a lady in a dark blue dress

I’m your friend

‘Til the end

In this rest assured

I’ll be there, and I’ll care

If I’m able

When you’re burning

And you’re turning

Toward the face that is cured

Think hard and keep your cards

On the table

When the world wears me down

And everything is a mess

I dance a waltz

With a lady in a dark blue dress
