Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Party Dress
I’ve started singing out
New York didn’t feel so loud
This time, the autumn paints the sky
Moved into an empty home
To fill with the love I’m owed
This time, there’s roses in the road
But sometimes I get caught out
Wondering where you are now
And sometimes when I slow down
I wonder who you are now
I’m doing my best to love
God know that I’ve tried to forgive
But time has timing of its own
So I put on a party dress
To get over the words you said
To keep me in chains I’ve learned to break
But sometimes I get caught out
Wondering where you are now
And sometimes when I slow down
I wonder who you are now
My head is willing to lie to me
Colours in my memory
Whenever I get lonely
But now I’m childish like I should be
Colours that I now see
I’ll keep them close around me
I’m childish like I should be
