Red Dress

Go to battle with a red dress on

Wake your armies at the gates of dawn

Light the fires and sound the horns

Greet the day, red steel and all

It's the same dead calm

Set before this gathering storm

It's the strangest fall

When you pull that red dress on

I walked the field in the swirling mist

White flag tied on to my wrist

I meet you where your lines are drawn

Bring the bodies, I'll surrender all

It's the same dead calm

Electric crackle in the air

It's strangest fall

You can leave your red dress on

When I came down, down from the mountain

At first, I was frightened

But now I'm dead calm

When I walked in, into the station

I felt my elation

And fell into your arms

When I came down, down from the mountain

At first, I was frightened

Then I saw your face

When I walked in, into the station

All of creation

Fell into place

It's the strangest fall

It's the strangest fall
