I wish I had the words to say to make it go away Rinse it down the drain Wash away in the rain Float off with the clouds I can see it now Darling You look in the mirror But keep staring at the ground Darling The girl in the red dress Oh God, who is she now? Why is she not here when I need her most? The one in the red dress Darling I need her ghost Standing in the mirror But staring at the ground She’s still here She is changed now Standing in the mirror Rip open the closet There it is Red so solid, so pure Like ruby jewels Won in a duel by the treasure connoisseur Red like rose Strawberries Lipstick Tomatoes The dress Pristine like the day she wore it I wish I had the words to say to make it go away Rain, wash it all away Large dewy teardrops Fall heavy From the sky Settle on the ground Reflection I frown Darling You look in the mirror But keep staring at the ground You can see only yourself now Why do you frown? Darling lift your head up I am here with you now The girl in the red dress The best of me I must confess

All I See is Red
I wish I had the words to say to make it go away Rinse it down the drain Wash away in the rain Float off with the clouds I can see it now Darling You look in the mirror But keep staring at the ground Darling The girl in the red dress Oh God, who is she now? Why is she not here when I need her most? The one in the red dress Darling I need her ghost Standing in the mirror But staring at the ground She’s still here She is changed now Standing in the mirror Rip open the closet There it is Red so solid, so pure Like ruby jewels Won in a duel by the treasure connoisseur Red like rose Strawberries Lipstick Tomatoes The dress Pristine like the day she wore it I wish I had the words to say to make it go away Rain, wash it all away Large dewy teardrops Fall heavy From the sky Settle on the ground Reflection I frown Darling You look in the mirror But keep staring at the ground You can see only yourself now Why do you frown? Darling lift your head up I am here with you now The girl in the red dress The best of me I must confess
Change is hard, but we are never stagnant. To freeze a moment in time, isn't that our dying wish?
