Dorothy Songtext
von Black Bear

You asked to be forgiven
Before he knew the crime
It′s not that I don't love you
A dagger of a line

One day you′ll understand, you promised
Never could deliver
Monday you're his mother, then Tuesday
Gone forever

Dorothy
Would you play the piano for me?
For me to hold in my memory
You're the lead I′m the harmony
One last time before you leave

I′ve searched for you in all your places
Hometown Tacoma
Biz Point Anacortes
Indiana, Oklahoma


In every one you're long since gone
Cold trail, cold case
I′d ask around, but never found
Much more than a trace

Dorothy
Would you write a poem for me?
For me to keep in my wallet to read
Do you have some kind words for me?
One last time before you leave

I've heard you loved old records
I′ve heard you loved to dance
Come to know you in a way that he
Never had the chance

Pain can't be contained
In the end you lost the most
Spread his ashes on your grave
Now I′m dancing with your ghost

Dorothy
Would you play the piano for me
For me to hold in my memory
You're the lead I'm the harmony
One last time before you leave


Dorothy
Would you write a poem for me?
For me to keep in my wallet to read
Do you have some kind words for me?
One last time before you leave
