Goodnight Elisabeth Lyrics

Counting Crows Goodnight Elisabeth

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 I 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
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 Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth
