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
