lyrics

Petticoat ©SusanTurner, Mark Evans 2015


In the cold light of the day
I could see what I had done
If I could change
My fortune

So I lifted up my petticoat
And brushed my hair
Until the dark night
Of the Ravens wings disappeared

I took my ring from my finger
If that would set you free
And lay it on the table
Like the fairytale was meant to be

From the very first time that I saw
You were in someone else’s arms
But I dreamed and prayed for you to come my way
I did not think I could change your life this way

So I lifted up my petticoat
And brushed my hair
Until the dark night
Of the Ravens wings disappeared.

I made wishes for you
And they came true.
So lovely was our love affair
In a life that you couldn’t bear.

I tried and tried to undo
The lovers spell I put on you
I took away who you could be

So I lifted up my petticoat
And brushed my hair
Until the dark night
Of the Ravens wings disappeared
