Goodnight Elisabeth   





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  

Goodnight Elisabeth  

We couldn't all be cowboys  

So some of us are clowns  

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 

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 

Goodnight Elisabeth
