Summer Dresses

from Oceans of Women and Wine by Nathan Seeckts

/

lyrics

Well we listened to those records till we wore out all the grooves
You held my fingers tight, girl you taught me how to move
My feet, they kept in time with every single beat
The air was runnin’ heavy, full of cigarettes and wine
And that summer dress you wore had you looking mighty fine
My heart, was yours until the end right from the start

We’d lean on that old porch
We’d dance to those old songs
My Mary-Anne

We were far from perfect yeah mistakes were sometimes made
My little auburn angel, you came in east from Adelaide
My world, I laid it all at your feet darling girl
The way you kissed me hard, biting down upon my lip
My blood would mix with yours in almost every single kiss
I’m yours, for now until the end forever more

We’d lean on that old porch
We’d dance to those old songs
My Mary-Anne
We sat on that old porch
We sang out those old songs
My Mary-Anne

Remember that New Years we started driving north?
Til ran all outta petrol and we couldn’t drive no more
So we huddled in the backseat, drinking wine straight from the bag
You said “Darling, I love you, but how long can this really last?”

We drove back to that old porch
I put on some sad songs
I pulled you in so close
I whispered please don’t go
My Mary-Anne

about

Nathan Seeckts Geelong, Australia

Seemingly hewn from Bellarine Peninsula basalt, Seeckts’ vocal is imbued with all the heart worn grit of Steve Earle, grounding songs that are alternately heaving, shivering and jangling with feeling. Whether punching out a heartland belter or immersed in a nostalgic reverie, Nathan Seeckts delivers immense humanity, compassion, and catharsis. ... more
