Tracey Thorn - Long White Dress lyrics

rate me

Matthew was a wised up kid

He found out everything

Before the rest of us did

He said, "I don't think

That you have to be married"

And I don't know why I felt so scared

I just knew I didn't want to wear

The long white dress

Long white dress

Jackie was the first to hide

Kept all of his better feelings inside

He said, "I know I love you but

I can't decide"

And tucked away in some back bed

Like a ghost of something dead

Long white dress

Long white dress

I know I'm not an independent woman

So you might say, "Well, really

What's the difference?"

Is it all in my head?

Is it all in my head?

Is it all in my head?

I was a romantic kid

I found myself a torch

And a book and I hid

And nothing ever scared me like

A wedding did

And I filled my head with so much shit

And I dreamed and I dreamed of it

Of love and it's opposite

Long white dress

Long white dress

Long white dress

Long white dress
