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 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
I'll miss you when I'm slipping in between
If you wrap yourself in daffodils
I will wrap myself in pain
If you're the queen of California,
baby I am the king of the rain
And I said
Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth,
The moon is a satellite
and wont you fall down on me now,
wont you fall down on me
wont you fall down on me now
wont you fall down on me
cause Im all alone, you ain't coming home
we just settle down down into bone
I said I'm all alone. you ain't coming home
we just settle down down down into bone
