about

This song's lyrics were inspired by a poem someone once sent me. Musically it was the first time (I think) that I experimented with a bass in addition to my guitars and drums. My favorite part, though, is the very simple piano part. I also like that the song builds without choruses and ends with the same verse that started it.

lyrics

Dress me up
Then dress me down
But do not take me on the town

I’ll kick and scream
You’ll hold me still
Until at last I’ve had my fill

My pulse will slow
The sobbing starts
You have exposed my shattered parts

Just don’t let go
I’ll float away
Tether me and there I’ll stay

Stay awhile
In this place
Feel my breath on your face

Rock me slowly
Into sleep
Peaceful sleep a slumber deep

A tender stroke
A gentle touch
I am afraid to ask so much

Dress me up
Then dress me down
But do not take me on the town
