Martin Page - Put On Your Red Dress lyrics

rate me

Over the railway lines

under the bridge where we met first time

I'm coming across town

Walking to your house

Yesterday weighs you down

oh lonely girl, won't you come on out

I swear it'll be alright

on this holy night

put on your red dress, baby

and wear your smile

say goodnight to your sister

we're gonna walk for miles

we'll go where the boats are leaving

in St. George's Bay

and when I look into your eyes

there's one thing that I can say

no one loves you this way

so put on your red dress, baby

and one more time

let me see you smile

there's the abandoned train

where we sheltered from the rain

somehow, I knew someday

we'd come here again

put on your red dress, baby

and wear your smile

say goodnight to your sister

we're gonna walk for miles

we'll go where the boats are leaving

in St. George's Bay

and when I look into your eyes

there's one thing that I can say

no one loves you this way

so put on your red dress, baby

and one more time

let me see you smile

here on this empty road

we stare at ourselves in a shop window

funny, we seem so right

on this holy night

so put on your red dress, baby

and wear your smile

close the door right behind you

gonna walk for miles

we'll go where the boats are leaving

in St. George's Bay

and recall the tenderness

as we sit by the waterside

oh I can never forget

that I was the man who let you slip out of his life

so put on your red dress baby

and let me one more time

make you smile tonight

make you smile tonight..

put on your red dress

come out and wear your smile

put on your red dress...
