Garden Dress Songtext

von Bodi Bill

He'd arrive a trifle late
Forgot about the new estate
Forgot to bring the ruby car
His wounds all swollen black as tar
The news he had to fight
Would be of no delight
For her bright garden dress
"Oh, please spare me
With your distress!", she said

"Honey, let's go to the park
I've heard they've built a new
Racing track there
I know - I know it's still dark
But we could have a fine talk there
I stole flowers at the market
And they were just for you
They'll never wrap me in a carpet
They're meant to bloom in june
They were addressing no one
Just shooting around
It's been a long time darling
Since I got shot down

It's been a long time, it's been...
Since I got shot down
Working for the family, just for the...
Since I got shot down
