The Dress (Fox Allen/Florance)
she kept it in the bottom draw
of the chest beside the bedroom door
wrapped in tissue of the purest white
on a bed of ancient oak it laid,
the dress that her grandmother had made
each stitch a link into the past
the colour of emerald green
it would have been a child's dream
with buttons that shone like stars at night
the green it spoke of open fields
of trickling streams and summers yield
of walking long amongst the creaking trees
the wooden gate the old stone floor
the path that led to the kitchen door
a garden filled with a heady scent
and in that dress there was more love
than she would ever know
in that dress were memories of one she'd barely known
all this she kept and so much more
in the chest beside the bedroom door
a secret life only she would know
Instrumental
she kept it in the bottom draw
of the chest beside the bedroom door
wrapped in tissue of the purest white
