Shoes And Dress That Alice Wore |
| Mhm I’m humming as I walk this house and do my daily chores |
| When I put the broom away I see the dress that Alice wore |
| It’s hanging in the closet sadly sagging without form |
| Empty dress there in the closet held a body soft and warm |
| Shoes and dress that Alice wore |
| It’s the dress she wore the night she caught me lying there beside |
| Some strange woman meaning nothing just some bones and hair and hide |
| I could npot explain it to her and I cannot to this day |
| Now I stand here staring at the dress she wore to go away |
| Shoes and dress that Alice wore |
| And the shoes are red and shiny and they’re modest in the heel |
| And the dress a bad investment and the color could be teal |
| She went screaming from the room where I lay blinking in the nude |
| With the woman there beside me saying ain’t this woman rude |
| Shoes and dress that Alice wore |
| So I asked the undertaker in a private kind of way |
| Before you close the casket when our friends have gone away |
| If it’s not too strange to reason I would make one last request |
| Since it all goes in the ground I’d like to have the shoes and dress |
| Shoes and dress that Alice wore |
| So I’m humming as I walk this house… |
| Mhmm mhm |
