Polka Dotted Dress
VERSE 1
I bought a polka dotted dress
In your favorite color
I plan to wear it on the day
That I make you my lover
Letters I wrote to you my dear
And sealed them with a kiss
I kept them in a wooden drawer
While you’re away I reminisced
BRIDGE
But as time and distance grow
The truth is brought close
CHORUS
We’ll discover that our dreams were temporary
In the chamber of the summer stars
And the promises that we swore under the oak tree
Can crumble at the tempt of desire
POST-CHORUS
My dear, tragic deeds you made from afar
Now you’ve lost this polka dotted heart
VERSE 2
Darling we both were much too proud
A bit too bold for certainty
Some things we just cannot explain
We’ll blame it all on gravity
BRIDGE
And as time and distance grow
The truth is brought close
CHORUS
We’ll discover that our dreams were temporary
In the chamber of the summer stars
And the promises that we swore under the oak tree
Can crumble at the tempt of desire
My dear, tragic deeds you made from afar
Now you’ve lost this polka dotted heart
VERSE 3
I bought a polka dotted dress
In your favorite color
I wore it on the very day
That you can’t be my lover
