My Favourite Dress - The Wedding Present

I know how you both feel the heart can rule the head

Jealousy is an essential part of love

The hurting here below and the emptiness above, oh

There’s always something left behind

There’s always something left behind

Never mind oh never mind

The tender caresses that bring out the man

I can’t still be drunk at five, oh I guess I surely can

Slowly your beauty is eaten away

By the scent of someone else in the blanket where we lay, oh

There’s always something left behind

There’s always something left behind

Maybe next time

Uneaten meals, a lonely star

A welcome ride in a neighbor’s car

A long walk home, the pouring rain

I fell asleep when you never came

Some rare delight in Manchester town

It took six hours before you let me down

To see it all in a drunken kiss

A stranger’s hand on my favorite dress oh

That was my favorite dress you know

That was my favorite dress
