Counting Crows - Goodnight Elisabeth 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 I'm all alone

You ain't coming home

You just settle down down down into bones

I said I'm all alone

You ain't coming home

You just settle down down down into bones
