I'm running up the stairs

I can hardly breathe again

Into your arms and a perfect day

From the garden where we lay

With the roses all aflame

You called my name and I meant to say

Dorothy it's been too long, so long

I looked for your face watching down from the window

Wave me till I'm gone

I remember the dress you wore

And you're still here with me but maybe

Dorothy it's been too long, so long

Now I'm waiting in the dark

In the strangeness of your bed

To hide my face where you lay your head

As I listen to the room

And it speaks about a distance never met

You were there and yet

Dorothy it's been too long, so long

You left without saying goodbye

And I was so impatient then

Always one to cynical to pray

But I talked to you today, do you hear me?

Dorothy it's been too long, so long

I remember the dress you wore

And you're still here with me but maybe

Dorothy it's been too long, so long
