Goodnight Elisabeth Lyrics - Recovering The Satellites - Counting Crows

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 okay 

I hope you're resting quietly 

I just wanted to say 

Good goodnight Elisabeth 

Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight 

Good goodnight Elisabeth 

Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight 

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 

Good goodnight Elisabeth 

Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight 

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 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 

Good goodnight Elisabeth 

Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight 

Good goodnight Elisabeth 

Your moves are satellite, yeah 

Now I want you to fall down 

I need now 

You should fall down on me 

Now I want you to fall down 

I need now 

You should fall down on me 

I'm all alone 

You ain't coming home 

We just settle down down down into bone 

I'm siting all alone 

You ain't coming home 

We just settle down down down into bone
