Lyrics
Summer dress (by shawn colvin)
Put on my fine summer dress So light and thin, it was my best I brushed my hair, held my breath I went out to face the wilderness I went out to face the wilderness
Men in hats, boys on bikes Perfect girls, baby dykes Superstars, blighted ones I went out to face one by one I went out to face them one by one
I said goodbye mary ann, as you turned to watch me Don't try, mary ann, don't try to stop me
'Cause I'm gonna go where flights are bright Where sacred secrets sail like kites We've been sleeping girl all our lives And we never lived, we just survived We never lived, we just survived
I'll take my heart, take my key I'll find out who could care for me Are there pots of gold, are there floods and fires Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars
And so goodbye, mary ann, as you turn to watch me Don't try, mary ann, don't try to stop me
I put on my fine summer dress So light and thin, torn up the chest I brushed my hair, held my breath I went out to face the wilderness I went out to face the wilderness
Mary ann, mary ann, don't cry, don't cry Mary ann
