I only knew her in Blue Jeans but he swore that she wore a red dress
Red as the leaves that fall in the breeze and land in a beautiful mess
And I guess if you've only seen the sunset once in all of your life
Its burned in your eyes like the blood of a child
or the wound from you own twisted knife
I only knew her in Blue Jeans though most of those were torn at the seams
Its funny how love either falls at your feet or it calls to you from a dream
It seems that she was a contest with no winner no rules and no teams
and i was a fool to dream she was mine just for an instant
a moment in time
when she leaned in close and closing her eyes she said
"Sing me a song and I'll sigh on your shoulder
and we'll quit acting young 'fore we get any older.
And the song that you sing, make it sad, make it truthful,
and be glad to be youthful and free."
