Put on my best Sunday dress
And walked straight into this mess of mine
And I put on my best Sunday dress
And I walked straight into this mess

And watching you burn - ai-ay
Watching you burn - ai-ay
Watching you burn - ai-ay
Watching you burn - ah

Pale blue eyes so young
Pale blue eyes so far away
Watch me with his sorrow
Forgive me all his pain

And I've come here to confess
To the wind and the rain and the glorious fame
And I've come here all undressed
For the numb and the dumb both say

The name that you burn - ai-ay
Watching you burn - ai-ay
Watching you burn - ai-ay
Watching you burn - ah

Pale blue eyes so dumb
Pale blue eyes so far away
Take him to the river
Forgive us all his pain

Oooh, I'm coming undone
He comes from the coal mine
I see you shine like a diamond
And curse us all goodnight

And I put on my best Sunday dress
And I walked straight into this mess of mine
And I've come here all undressed
With the poison and pain to take
With mine that you burn - ay-ah
That you burn - ah

Pale blue eyes so young
Pale blue eyes so far away
Take me to his sorrow
Forgive us all his pain

Watching you burn (put on my best Sunday dress) - ay-ah
Watching you burn - ay-ah
Watching you burn (put on my best Sunday dress) - ay-ah
Watching you burn - ay-ah
Watching you burn (put on my best Sunday dress) - ay-ah
Watching you burn - ay-ah
Watching you burn (put on my best Sunday dress) - ah

Put on my best Sunday dress
