White Dress Out of Sight
Bright fingerpicked acoustic guitar leads with a lively groove, supported by smooth upright bass and crisp hand percussion. Solo female vocals deliver with a rebellious edge. Choruses swell with layered harmonies, as mandolin and brushed snare deepen the texture, all clean and organic.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Church bells swinging
Empty aisle
Empty pews
Shadows on the stained glass
Flicker like a bad excuse
White dress slipping
Round the corner
Out of frame
Flowers on the floorboards
Dropping like they’re taking blame
Chorus
This is not right
This is not right
Rings on the table
Hands hanging tight
This is not right
And the world went quiet
Groom in the doorway
Watching love deny it
Verse 2
Tie hangs crooked
Mirror shows a different man
One shoe on the railing
Program folded in his hand
Names on paper
Every one a stranger now
Silence like a siren
How could vows just vanish out?
Chorus
Bridge
Groom is gloom
In a cut-rate suit
Mouth full of questions
Heart taking root
World of strangers
Faces blur
Then fade
Clock keeps ticking
On a life he didn’t make
Chorus
