Lyrics

PALE BLUE COTTON w/m by Rae Welch copyright 2002

Verse:
She wore pale blue cotton, last I saw her somewhere back in time
The way her hand smoothed the cloth on her hip as she walked
Always drove me right out of my mind
The last words she said still roll around in my head
And they play a sad song in my soul
"I'll no longer be a wife in your crazy life
That's not how I choose to grow old"

Chorus:
She was talkin' 'bout late nights, bright lights, loud bars and guitars
Close friends that don't even know my name
I would trade the whole mess for the feel of that dress
Holdin' pale blue cotton again

Verse:
What the hell made me think, I could drink all the wine in life's cup
Now my world moves so fast it just rolls over me
I don't know how I keep getting up
But II would leave here right now
If there was one chance in a hundred and ten
That she'd welcome me home with her arms open wide
Forgiving the fool that I've been

Chorus:
With my late nights, bright lights, loud bars and guitars
Close friends that don't even know my name
I would trade the whole mess for the feel of that dress
Holdin' pale blue cotton again

Inst. Break

Bridge:
No tight white skirt, no low cut blouse
Ever turned me on like that old blue dress
She wore around the house

Chorus:
Damn those late nights, bright lights, loud bars and guitars
Close friends that don't even know my name
I would trade the whole mess for the feel of that dress
Holdin' pale blue cotton again

Tag:
She wore pale blue cotton
