These aren't probably good lyrics for a song but I've had the idea floating around in my head for a few days and wanted to get something down and after being at my poetry group yesterday I wanted to do something descriptive
Red dress girl
Someone speaks but I don't hear
there's a beat in my heart , I've never felt before
the room is empty except for her
my mind doesn't hear the music
the hem of her dress flicks the floor
her movement takes my breathe away
I see the ocean in her emerald eyes
I feel I'm drowning already
"Do you want a drink ?" Somebody asks
I love her orange hair cascading her shoulders
the warning bells ring in my soul
but it's far too late
our eyes meet briefly , then depart
I see the flicker of a smile on her lips
she's the centre of attention surrounded by men
Men just like me under her curse or spell
Call it how you like
Red dress girl, red dress girl
I stand at the bar and watch her
mesmerised by a gypsy angel
then she's beside me at the bar
we don't talk , we don't need to
She orders a drink, I pay
I'm a little boy lost
she downs it in one
She leaves I follow
red dress girl , red dress girl
the hem of her dress flicks the floor
her orange hair cascading down her shoulders
lost in the emeralds of her eyes
red dress girl, red dress girl
I'm lost , I'm lost , I'm lost

Hey,
I love the simplicity but effectiveness of these lyrics! I feel like they're instantly relatable, we've all been in an experience like that. The second verse if my favourite, I love the description and the imagery. It sticks in my head.
