Lyrics The Black Dress - The Higher

The Black Dress

You don’t know what you’re doing
You look like a student with a pencil in your ponytail
Excuse me for staring
At the light iradescent color of your fingernails
Well, I think the situation’s wrong
But you totally turn me on
It’s unusually hard for me
To just let you be
Lady in the black dress
You shouldn’t sit so close to me
'Cause I could take advantage
Of a soul so vulnerable, soft and sweet
We could dive right in, into the deep
But when we come up you might feel empty
And the lady in the black dress
You’ll never sit so close to me
I don’t know what I’m doing, this lust is confusing
How do I explain myself?
Such a beautiful sadness behind her own lashes
Those eyes are crying out for help
And I think the situation’s wrong
But you totally turn me on
It’s unusually hard for me
To just let you be
Lady in the black dress
You shouldn’t sit so close to me
'Cause I could take advantage
Of a soul so vulnerable, soft and sweet
We could dive right in, into the deep
But when we come up you might feel empty
And the lady in the black dress
You’ll never sit so close to me again
This morning’s laid to rest
The casket has been sealed and blessed, the day is gone
His widow noticed me looking at you
She said don’t you let love leave and get away
So let’s seize the day
Lady in the black dress
You shouldn’t sit so close to me
'Cause I could take advantage
Of a soul so vulnerable, soft and sweet
We could dive right in, into the deep
But when we come up you might feel empty
And the lady in the black dress
You’ll never sit so close to me again
Lady in the black dress
You shouldn’t sit so close to me
'Cause I could take advantage
Of a soul so soft and sweet
