Goodnight Elizabeth

The Counting Crows

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
