Beautiful Red Dress Lyrics

Cover art for Beautiful Red Dress lyrics by Laurie Anderson

I am a mystery I am a dream A fleeting phantom of light and gloom A mist—a shadow—not what I seem I cannot love you! Oh come, come … Sleeping waters … See the sun of night—so much beauty And in my dream, I went through a long, solitary gallery Feeling the touch of the pure garments And the gentle throb of a friendly hand There was no one No one? There is no one But the wind—is it no one? Love is sown with profound promises Were I reborn as wind Even so—I would love you, woman Golden light—you Vibrating light—you Light Eternally

[paraphrased]
