Dolores Dream lyrics
by Kurt Elling
The white, electric skillet of a day
Threatened to sear us all away -
Fat frying, spluttering - rank Chicago smeltering along
Smothered in heavy, wooly sweat
The city knew a sad regret
For staying long in summer's heavy
No escape. Delirious
So I went subterraneous
Maybe I'd dream about Dolores'
Kinda' auburn hair
