Dressed In Black

(album: All Of Us Flames - 2022)

Dressed in black
You're always dressed in black
And you come to me by night beneath my windowsill
And you're always dressed in black
And you say, "Don't make a sound"
You leave before the sun comes up, my love

Haunted eyes
You've got those haunted eyes
And your lips don't move, but I can hear you talk to me
And I watch your haunted eyes
As they look out at the world
The world that never cared at all for us

Babe, I know our time will come
We'll run away
When we get the money saved
We'll run away into the sun
Stockpile supplies, my knives, your gun
You'll call my name and I will come
You'll run with me

But until then
We'll just be dressed in black
We'll meet beneath my windowsill in silhouette
And we'll both be dressed in black
And we'll hold our weapons close
We'll dream away the nights, my only love
