If You Wear That Velvet Dress
Lyrics and Songs by U2 - Go back

Tonight the moon is playing tricks again
Feeling sea sick again
An the world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water
I`ve been good `cause I know you don`t want me to
Do you really want me to be as blue as you
It`s her daylight that gets me through

We`ve been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a two year old
Who just wanted more
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress

Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains
It`s a private show no one else going to know
I`m waiting

Sunlight
Sunlight fills my room
It`s sharp and it`s clear
But nothing at all like the moon

It`s okay
The struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray

If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress

Tonight the moon is a mirror ball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who`ll catch the star when it falls

If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
