Black Dress Lyrics
We had longed for lying in the old workhouse
Where they owned most everything
And the drugs for years had been wearing off
Which reminds us why we sing
I'll come for everyone in my long, black dress
I'll comfort everyone when the homeless siren's rest
When the long time had evened out
When we reached the end of spring
And your covered eyes pressed close to mine
We would clip the children's wings
I'll come for everyone in my long, black dress
I'll comfort everyone when the homeless child rests
Pray for me, pray for me
Pray for me, just pray
Pray for me, pray for me
Pray for me, just pray
I'll come for everyone in my long, black dress
I'll comfort everyone when the homeless siren's rest
Pray for me, pray for me
Pray for me, just pray
Walked her home from school one day
And drove her off to work
Now that all is figured out
And all her life has worth
Where they owned most everything
And the drugs for years had been wearing off
Which reminds us why we sing
I'll comfort everyone when the homeless siren's rest
When we reached the end of spring
And your covered eyes pressed close to mine
We would clip the children's wings
I'll comfort everyone when the homeless child rests
Pray for me, just pray
Pray for me, just pray
I'll comfort everyone when the homeless siren's rest
Pray for me, just pray
And drove her off to work
Now that all is figured out
And all her life has worth

Could not figure out the last bit of the chorus, if anyone has any idea I will be more than willing to fix this!! I just listened and typed what I heard. So good. :)
Hey, i love this song so much, and i think the end lyric is "when the hum-less sirens rest" Or ever "home-less" Not entirely sure but thats what it sounds like to me lol
