Maraschino Red Dress $8.99 at Goodwill

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Those long afternoons When nobody was home but me Sun is shining but I dwell in shadow Maraschino-red dress, $8.99 at Goodwill I was looking over my shoulder At the register trying not to be seen Looking over my shoulder at all [Verse 2] I had appointments today Errands to run (Errands to run) I watch the hours drain away I watch the hours drain away [Verse 3] Mid-grade bourbon sitting in the cabinet This day's shot anyway And a couple of beers left from two nights ago I am hideous and no one can ever know When the sun gets low-down, bloody and red I tie a little knot at the center of my head I don't think I'll be showing up At synagogue at quarter past seven [Verse 4] Sometimes you go through hell and you Never get to heaven Sometimes you go through hell and you Never get to heaven [Verse 5] But I thank God Who gives strength to the weary I thank God Who gives strength to the weary
