Goodnight Elisabeth

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was wasted in the afternoon

Waiting on a train

I woke up in pieces and elisabeth

Had disappeared again

I wish you were inside of me

I hope that you're ok

I hope you're resting quietly

I just wanted to say

Goodnight elisabeth

We couldn't all be cowboys

So some of us are clowns

And some of us are dancers on the midway

We roam from town to town

I hope that everybody

Can find a little flame me, I say my prayers

Then I just light myself on fire

And I walk out on the wire once again

And I say

Goodnight elisabeth

I will wait for you in Baton Rouge

I'll miss you down in New Orleans

I'll wait for you

While she slips in something comfortable

And I'll miss you

When I'm slipping in between

If you wrap yourself in daffodils

I will wrap myself in pain

And if you're the queen of California

Baby I am the king of the rain

And I say

Goodnight elisabeth

Now, won't you fall down on me now

Won't you fall down on me now

Come, come fall down on me now

Won't you fall down on me

'Cause I'm all alone

You ain't coming home

You just settle down, down, down, in to bone

Yeah I said I'm all alone

You ain't coming home

We just settle down, down, down, in to bone
