lyrics

a ball gown fashioned from the night sky
as though you're a little girl
dress is dragging on the ground

tonight the sky remembered
when summer left a prickling fan of grass

you alone in a flowered sundress
you lay down and felt the blades
tickle your toes between soil and sky

you dreamt of a tiny red box, a shiny life
but you woke up in your own bed, quiet as any night

so you go out and go girl
you sparkle to your own jewel
you're swinging on paper stars

thinkin' if you act the part, play your hand
your little heart gonna find a home to land

you go to the parties dressed up like you mean it
crushed taffeta falling on the ground
just a girl playing dress-up with freckles and a crown

when all you want is repose in tall grass
kiss on the wind, a bloom gonna last

a ball gown fashioned from the night sky
as though you're a little girl
dress still dragging on the ground
