lyrics

It's the middle of a long July
there's not a cloud in the sky
on my way down south to see you

got your letter memorized
my heart's capsized
I'm lost at sea without you

I drove all night
I drove all day
and every song on the radio
pulls me close, closer to you

Won't you be my Blanche DuBois?
We'll dance our way through Mardi Gras
I'll shield the light from your eyes

Let me take you by the hand
we'll twist just like an ampersand
and dance across the boulevard


you're my little sweet dream
a paper doll behind the screen
a moth that's drawn to the flame

I feel the change in the air
the rain feels like a prayer
I've finally found my way to you

Every night
Every day
You don't have to rely on the kindness of strangers
any more

Won't you be my Blanche DuBois?
We'll dance our way through Mardi Gras
I'll shield the light from your eyes
