I Wear Your Dress

this is just to tell you that i wear your dress sometimes
the one you made with the gold brocade and the empire waistline
you fitted to your figure when it looked just like my own
that was jersey in the fifties, and the women stayed at home

so you laid your paper pattern on the table in between
the silverware and napkins and the harper's magazines
from a slow suburban season that is nothing but a dream
to your granddaughter

this is just to tell you that i wear your dress sometimes
i wear it down to the bar in town and dance around all night
talking and joking, swearing and smoking like any stranger in a crowd
and nobody stares, nobody cares to tell me i'm not allowed- i am allowed

and my body, by the letter of the law, is still my own
when i lay down in the darkness, unburdened and alone
with the liberty you've given like the clothing you've outgrown
to your granddaughter

this is just to tell you that i wear your dress sometimes

Mirror lyrics:

this is just to tell you that i wear your dress sometimes

to your granddaughter
with the liberty you've given like the clothing you've outgrown
when i lay down in the darkness, unburdened and alone
and my body, by the letter of the law, is still my own

and nobody stares, nobody cares to tell me i'm not allowed- i am allowed
talking and joking, swearing and smoking like any stranger in a crowd
i wear it down to the bar in town and dance around all night
this is just to tell you that i wear your dress sometimes

to your granddaughter
from a slow suburban season that is nothing but a dream
the silverware and napkins and the harper's magazines
so you laid your paper pattern on the table in between

that was jersey in the fifties, and the women stayed at home
you fitted to your figure when it looked just like my own
the one you made with the gold brocade and the empire waistline
this is just to tell you that i wear your dress sometimes
