On a one-way street going east to west
She's walking home in a summer dress
And the buildings fall behind her feet
In a summer dress on a one-way street
In a crowded room with a cigarette
She's dancing slow in a summer dress
And the boys all know she'll be leaving soon
In a summer dress from a crowded room
And it's a long way down to the living
From up there on the cross
It's a long way down to the living
So the people wait in their Sunday best
But where's the girl in the summer dress?
Just pray for light on her soul
In a summer dress and the winter cold
And it's a long way down to the living
From up there on the cross
It's a long way down to the living
