And from my lofty vantage point
I came to watch over you
I said, โPlease sir,โ to an angel
โRemove your hat so I can get
a better viewโ
Thatโs when someone pulled a lever
And the misty curtain was withdrawn
On a scene of a little house with tall trees
And you laughed and danced across its summer lawn
Where are you going in your
Bright, clean, and innocent dress?
The cloud of witnesses says
โItโs anybodyโs guessโ
And then you crossed the equator
In a broken glass-bottom boat
In the bottomless depths of your ocean
You knew you had to sink and drown
To stay afloat
The years are timid and fleeting
Tears of dew on morning grass
They took you to Loveland and bad lands
You didnโt notice there the faithful
Shepherd with his staff
Where are you going in your
Bright, clean, and innocent dress?
The cloud of witnesses says
โItโs anybodyโs guessโ
And with your babies gone now
Youโre learning how to let them go
Their memories dance across your summer lawn and
Like those who came before
You want to know
Where are they going in their
Once clean and innocent dress?
The cloud of witnesses says
โItโs anybodyโs guessโ
Now you hold a faded photograph of
You in your Motherโs lap
You sigh as your old hand trembles
Alongside these words that
I once scribbled on the back:
Where are you going in your
Bright, clean, and innocent dress?
The cloud of witnesses says
โItโs anybodyโs guessโ
And all I can do for you today is
My very best
