Elegy

作词 : Leif Vollebekk

作曲 : Leif Vollebekk

Minor chords and major arcana

Little leather jacket and a black bandana

Kicking over trashcans and telling jokes in Atlanta

When I got the fever, it hit me like a fan

On the back of my hand I don't know who I am

But I'm free for nothing good for nothing too

Crazy to dream and still crazy about you

Won't you let me in one more time, babe I want to feel it too

Well nothing is a lie, babe if you know it ain't true

Take a look at me now

Take a look at me now

Reparations now coming my way

Dues that I've recollected that I never paid

In the stained glass windows babe I feel the presence, oh yeah

But that don't mean I'm done with repentance so oh no

Gonna find another way to climb out of this basement

Gonna find out what that smile on your face meant

Like a thief that you borrow baby take a hold of me, take flight

And I want to do your bidding babe I want to steal away in the night

Take a look at me now

Take a look at me now

Heart's on fire; so is the page

Everybody round here is telling me to act my age, I'm tryin'

Things are only revealed in the light that is given

Oh to be freed from the pardon when all else is forgiven

Rain outside is blowing in the curtains

Nothing is revealed but nothing is for certain

As I recall you was drinking from the sanctuary wine

Well don't worry baby we'll find all of our lost time

Take a look at me now

Take a look at me now

As I recall you were standing there, you was holding your rosary beads

Everyone around here seems to think he knows what he needs

Seven ugly reasons kept me away from you then

Nothing is much weaker than the resolve of most men

I remember when we was alone in your room

Staring out your window we knew you'd be going soon

And I was so young babe I hope that you knew that I meant well

And when I looked in your eyes I thought I knew you could tell

Now I'm blown back from the cemetery gates

You whom I loved dearly now I must wait

To be reunited in the sky when it opens

Well my feet are so tired baby but my spirit ain't broken

Take a look at me now

Take a look at me now
