If You Wear That Velvet Dress
U2
Pop (1997)

Tonight the moon is playing tricks again
I'm feeling sea sick again
The whole world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water


I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to
Do you really want me to be blue as you
It's her daylight that gets me through


We've been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a two year old
Who just wanted more


If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress


Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains
It's a private show
No one else going to know
I'm wanting


Sunlight, sunlight fills my room
It's sharp and it's clear
But nothing at all like the moon


It's okay, the struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray


But if you wear that velvet dress
But if you wear that velvet dress


Tonight the moon is a mirrorball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who'll catch the star when it falls


If you wear that velvet dress
