The Reverend John DeLore - Envy lyrics

rate me

The dress she wore was the color of envy.

When she smiled all the men would lose their cool.

She turned to me and said, “You are a fool, boy.”

I said, “It’s true but don’t you know I am your fool now.”

The full moon was shining on the Cooper Union.

It covered all the temples in a blanket of gray. She said,

“Way over yonder is my home.

Way over yonder is my home.”

And the dress she wore was the color of envy.

When she smiled all the men would lose their cool.

All this time to kill. I will write a letter to you.

From my hand to your hand.

From my home to your home.

From this room here on Church Avenue.

Because the dress you wore was the color of envy.

When you smiled all the men would lose their cool.
