Testo di Elizabeth Sleeps

Elizabeth sleeps alone The Mississippi sun rolled on and on She runs through fields of dreams With untamed things that bring her home She barely remembers the girl she was back then Time took the years And sometimes she thinks of the boy But the memories fade with April's tears It's okay I say but I could be wrong 'Cause it sounds like something out of Edgar Allan Poe Like Annabel Lee she lived by the sea 'Til a chilling, killing wind began to blow, oh no, oh no Elizabeth walks through the trees The mists and the breeze follow endlessly She silently enters his gate She waits for his fate so patiently It's okay I say, but I could be wrong 'Cause it sounds like something out of Edgar Allan Poe The Telltale heart, it tore me apart When I think of that little beady eye that glowed, oh no, oh no Elizabeth sleeps on the hill As the whippoorwill sings his sad song Come morning they're breaking the ground Fifty-six years gone waiting alone It's okay I say, but I could be wrong 'Cause it sounds like something out of Edgar Allan Poe The Raven nevermore, rapping at my door Surely your forgiveness I implore, Lenore, Lenore Elizabeth sleeps alone The Mississippi sun rolls on and on
