Put on my best Sunday dress
and walked straight into this mess of mine
Yeah I put on my best Sunday dress
and I walked straight into this mess
hey watching you burn
watching you burn
watching you burn
watching you burn
Pale blue eyes so young
Pale blue eyes so far away
Wash me with his sorrow
Forgive me all his pain
And I've come here to confess
To the wind and the rain and the glorious fame
and I've come here all undressed
For the numb and the dumb both say
the name that you burn
watching you burn
watching you burn
watching you burn
Pale blue eyes so dumb
Pale blue eyes so far away
Take him to the river
Forgive us all his pain
Ooh, I'm coming undone
He comes from the coal mine
I see you shine like a diamond
and curse us all goodnight
and I put on my best Sunday dress
and I walked straight into this mess of mine
and I've come here all undressed
With the poison and pain and to take what is mine
that you burn
that you burn
Pale blue eyes so young
Pale blue eyes so far away
Take me to his sorrow
Forgive us all his pain
Watching you burn (put on my best Sunday dress)
Watching you burn
Watching you burn (put on my best Sunday dress)
Watching you burn
Watching you burn (put on my best Sunday dress)
Watching you burn
Put on my best Sunday dress
