Lyrics
Elijah
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.
Broken by the back of it
It was hard enough without the loss
Hanging on a thread of it
It was hard enough without the cost
Dancing to your lover's beat
Beating on heavy feet
Working on a dream you made
Well, you made enough to ride the wave
Elijah, you're too young to be lost
Elijah, don't fade out on the cross
Elijah, I don't know
What it is you need to do
Wish you could have talked to me
Found another way to be
Living hard don't sound so good
It's hard to get out of the wood
Elijah, you're too young to be lost
Elijah, don't fade out on the cross
Elijah, I don't know
What it is you need to do
The radio was playing all day
And I heard you singing
Fingers strum the sound through delay
And it echoes through me
Wishbones hidden in the residue
Someday they’ll find you
Just a little piece of good fortune
It won’t forget you
Elijah, you're too young to be lost
Elijah, don't fade out on the cross
Elijah, I don't know
What it is you need to do
