Sundress
Whispers of Emotion: Unraveling Buffalo Tom's Sundress
Lyrics
I want to hear your sad sad voice come to me loud and clear
Expressing a desire to hear the partner's voice despite the sadness conveyed.
I want to hear your lips and tongue form the words no ears should hear

And I want to watch you while your face reddens with fear
Expressing a desire to witness the partner's emotional vulnerability and discomfort.
And watch your eyes get all clouded up with tears
Observing the emotional impact on the partner, noting tearful eyes and clouded emotions.
This thing is such a stupid mess
Acknowledging the relationship as a senseless and chaotic situation.
So nuts you never would have guessed

You better watch yourself

Your words just tell

Watching your sundress just blowing in the breeze

This time of year I want to breathe but I just sneeze

And the sunshine is just killing me my degrees
Conveying that the sunshine, typically positive, is causing distress or discomfort.
And I go to smell the roses just to get stung by the bees

Your words just free me day by day

Button your lip

Your tongue just slips

I don't need to read about myself in other towns

I don't want to hear all you have seen or what you've found

And when you turn for the second go around
