The Girl in the Yellow Dress Songtext

von David Gilmour

She mesmerizes with a smile
Dark eyes as compelling as the bourbon
That girl in the canary yellow dress
Says yes

She flips a pack of cigarettes
He doesn't smoke, but he takes one nonetheless
It helps to keep his motives true, the girl was blue
What else is the poor boy supposed to do
She bounces like a flame, clothes on her

Eyes closed
Yellow dress
Runs and swirls
It's late, the hour's growing horns

The band seems to draw her ever closer
This girl gets right down in the groove, grooves a move
Leads him out to where they play the blues
She dances like a flame
Has no cares, yellow-dressed flame

Eyes closed, clouds above
She shakes pearls and snakes
Too late in this folie a troix
He sees that her heart is pounding for

Big daddy who falls down to his knees, begging her please
Lifts his sax, says "here's my little tease"
Her dancing sets the place on fire
Heaven and hell
The flames come up his spine
As she shakes pearls and snakes
