The Yellow Dress
An Elegy for Laura Shain
And I am a preacher
But I will sing only for your love, if that won't do
And I am down with it
And I will curse the stars above clear into view
And I have known anger
And I've had my share of heartache too, and without them
What good is anger?
What good is heartache without you?
And I am a liar
But I have lied only for your love, if that won't do
Then I will keep trying
But I have been trying for so long
And I have known anger, and I have known trouble
And I've had my share of heartache too, and without them
What good is anger?
What good is heartache without you there in the end?
And I am a sinner
But I have sinned only for your love, if that won't do
Then I will keep waiting
And I will come flying out from out the air into you
Oh, ohh, ohh, oh...
[Outro]
And I am a preacher
But I will sing only for your love
