The Wedding Present — My Favourite Dress

Sometimes these words just don't have to be said I know how you both feel, the heart can rule the head Jealousy is an essential part of love The hurting here below and the emptiness above There's always something left behind Never mind The tender caresses that bring out the man I can't still be drunk at five Oh, I guess I surely can Slowly your beauty is eaten away By the scent of someone else in the blanket where we lay There's always something left behind Maybe next time Uneaten meals A lonely star A welcome ride in a neighbor's car A long walk home The pouring rain I fell asleep when you never came Some rare delight in Manchester town It took six hours before you let me down To see it all in a drunken kiss A stranger's hand on my favourite dress That was my favourite dress, you know That was my favourite dress
