Goodnight Elizabeth lyrics

i was wasted in the afternoon
waiting on a train
i woke up in pieces and elizabeth had dissapeared again
i wish you were inside on me
i hope that you`re ok
i hope you`re resting quietly
i just wanted to say

goodnight elizabeth

we couldn`t all be cowboys
so 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

goodnight elizabeth

i will wait for you in Baton Rouge
i`ll miss you down in New Orleans
i`ll wait for you while she slips into 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 elizabeth
