If You Wear That Velvet Dress

If You Wear That Velvet Dress
Tonight the moon is playing tricks again
Feeling sea sick again
The world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water
I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to
Do you really want me to be as blue as you
It's her daylight that gets me through

We've been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a two year old
Who just wanted more
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains
It's a private show no one else going to know
I'm wanting
Sunlight
Sunlight fills my room
It's sharp and it's clear
But nothing at all like the moon
It's okay
The struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
Tonight the moon is a mirror ball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who'll catch the star when it falls
If you wear that velvet dress
