Black Dress

Come on pretty baby put your black dress on
Head on down to the funeral home
I'm your mother I need you
Your daddy he's laying to rest
The complications won
Another god built man headed to the promise land
Another baby girl taken too soon from this world
When all of the death don't make no sweet sense
And the spending of time on this hallowed ground tonight
And she says, "What do you know?"

I know, (I know) there's no (there's no) amazing grace
And I don't (I don't) feel like (feel like) an angel (angel)here
And I hope (I hope) to find (to find) my saving (saving) grace
In the arms (the arms) of a place (a place) far away from here

Instrumental

Redemption showers bring many hours of longing for the sun
To wash away the sins that maybe god can't forgive
But you won't let me forget when you say

Come on pretty baby put your black dress on
Head on down to the funeral home
I'm your mother I need you you
You're daddy he's laying to rest
The complications won
All of the death don't make no sweet sense
And I've spent enough time on this hallowed ground to know
And she says, "What do you know?"

I know (I know) there's no (there's no) amazing (amazing) grace
I don't (I don't) feel like (feel like) an angel (angel) here
I hope (I hope) to find (to find) my saving (saving) grace
In the arms (the arms) of a place (a place) far away from here

I know (I know) there's no (there's no) amazing grace
And I don't (I don't) feel like (feel like) an angel (angel) here
And I hope (I hope) to find (to find) my saving (saving) grace
In the arms (the arms)of a place (a place) far away from here

Instrumental

Come on pretty baby put your black dress on
Come on pretty baby put your black dress on
Come on pretty baby put your black dress on
Come on pretty baby put your black dress on
