Sasha Wore a Red Dress

She drove to the shore
(couldn’t take anymore)
wore her best
flowing red dress
 
She said:

“I’ll close my eyes
fly up to the skies
may never return
it’s all gonna burn
all day and all night—
 
Now it’s my turn
to run away.
 
What price can I pay
to live for the day?
 
Just killing time
until I can find
some feeling inside
for feeling alive.”

 
The tide flowed in
pulled back again
around and around
a soothing sound
 
She never made it
out of the flow
wade in deeper--  
(wade in deeper)
 “How far can I go”

“Oh so grand”

(Take the sea’s hand)
“Come inside
come inside—
let’s fly”

 
“It’s so right”
Gone in the night
out of sight
out of sight
