the blue dress

wearing a blue dress,
i waited in the street.
for you to come and take me away.
now the dark clouds have set in.
my mascara is running out.
i have been waiting since the dawn.
the stars are coming new.
but where are you?
now, the lilies ask me.
where is my prince,
that shrewd friend of mine
is giving me a wink.
but i know you'll come
'cause you told me you'll come.
you promised i was your Cinderella,
and you will be my umbrella.

i am all drenched,
but my hopes are ignited still,
whatever the world says,
I'll come again.
again, at the break of dawn.
like I've been coming since long.
wearing the same old
blue dress you gave me.
I'll come again,
again and again, every dawn.
