Counting Crows Goodnight Elizabeth Lyrics

Goodnight Elizabeth Lyrics

i was wasted in the afternoon
waiting on a train
i woke up in pieces and
elisabeth had disappeared again
well i wish you were inside of me
i hope
that you're ok
i hope your resting quietly
i just wanted to
say

good, goodnight elisabeth,
goodnight elisabeth
goodnight
elisabeth
goodnight

we couldn't all be cowboys
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

good, goodnight elisabeth,
goodnight
elisabeth
goodnight elisabeth
goodnight

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 daffodills
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

good, goodnight elisabeth,
goodnight
elisabeth
goodnight elisabeth
goodnight
the moon's a satellite
yeah
now wont you fall down
on me now
wont you fall down on me
come
fall down
on me now
wont you fall down on me
'till im all alone
you
aint coming home
you just settle down down down into bones
i said im all
alone
you aint coming home
you just settle down down down into bones
