lyrics

Dress of Fire ©Swampgirl Music
Written by Beth McKee and Tony Battaglia
Since you've been gone I tried to tow the line
I ignored evil thoughts running through my mind
Your kind of loving never worked on me
Always thought I was who I ought be
Well change, it don't come easy when all is said and done
There's a vein runs through me I cannot overcome
I made too many promises most of which I couldn't keep
Trouble tracked me down and now I'm in too deep

I wear my dress of fire you live like a King
I see a silent choir perhaps you hear them sing
Temptation was everywhere in the end I failed
I wear my dress of fire in this living hell

I laid out all my Sunday best
Decided it was hopeless threw out all the rest
I set the table knowing no one would ever come
Here we go again dinner just for one
I wear my dress of fire you live like a King

I see a silent choir perhaps you hear them sing
Temptation was everywhere in the end I failed
Salvation was never there, I guess it's just as well
I wear my dress of fire in this living hell

You’ll recognize the hues if you really wanna parse it, but if you just listen, you’ll hear a sound that is quintessentially Southern, tapped from the roots and rolls like honey. ... more
