Song for Dolly

Lyrics and vocals by Tamara Raidt and Julien

Dolly what a strange thing to say to someone you don’t know

Dolly I had the hardest week but you sang me to sleep

So I packed a bag, I might have stolen a car

I took the quickest road, ran a few red lights just to find you

Here I am on your doorstep and you look scared to death

 You said you called the cops and they’re minutes away

 Dolly what a strange thing to say but I think I love you

And the judge was nice to me so I guess I don’t blame you

Now I have to stay 500 meters away

But as soon as I can I’ll be on my way to you

Here I am on your doorstep and you look scared to death

You said you called the cops and I’m writing this song

From my cell
