On  a  one-way  street  going  east  to  west
She's  walking  home  in  a  summer  dress
And  the  buildings  fall  behind  her  feet
In  a  summer  dress  on  a  one-way  street
In  a  crowded  room  with  a  cigarette
She's  dancing  slow  in  a  summer  dress
And  the  boys  all  know  she  wll  be  leaving  soon
In  a  summer  dress  from  a  crowded  room
And  it's  a  long  way  down  to  the  living
From  up  there  on  the  cross
It's  a  long  way  down  to  the  living
So  the  people  wait  in  their  Sunday  best
But  where  is  the  girl  in  the  summer  dress?
Just  pray  for  light  on  her  soul
In  a  summer  dress  and  the  winter  cold
And  it's  a  long  way  down  to  the  living
From  up  there  on  the  cross
It's  a  long  way  down  to  the  living
