Alyce Blue Gown

Lyrics

See little Alyce blue gown She's gone to a palace to play now Yet I've known your secret For a real, real long time Recall what I told you When you were by my side Then don't let no melody caller Take you for a ride I just can't go on this way I'm beggin' to tell you the reasons For runnin' away If you're runnin' need's real 'Cause you are the prettiest thing That ever wore blue In blue, ever wore Sweet little toes she's blown away You're lost in a grown up ballet And I hear you whispering For bed and poetry You stand on one side And I hang on the other Don't do it for your Daddy baby Don't do it for your Mother I just can't go on this way Well, all of that sand runs quicksilver 'Til it covers the children Who refuse to be free And you are the prettiest thing That ever wore blue Wore blue, ever wore Pray for Alyce Down to the devil And stand on a grey light It trembles unseen At the edge of your eyesight Yet you tango on this way I'm beggin' to tell you the reasons For runnin' away if you're runnin' these days 'Cause you are the prettiest thing That ever wore blue Wore blue, and you wore Pray for Alyce I bet you didn't think She bet you didn't think She could rock and roll Yeah, yeah yeah I bet you din't think She bet you didn't think She could rock and roll I bet you didn't think She bet you didn't think She could rock and roll Yeah, yeah, yeah
