Elisabeth Lyrics

She was sittin' there

On my rotten back porch swing

Arms wrapped 'round an old six-string

I bought for her

And I began to sing along

To a song of November wind

And my love coming back again

Elisabeth

And I've been trying

I've been fighting for so long

And I'd hoped that I was wrong

Elisabeth

But you didn't need me

To wipe that sweat up from off your brow

Lord knows to you I'd vow

Elisabeth

Oh darling, darling

Can we just play pretend

As if nothing, nothing

Is killing me again

Have I ever been in love

Or just haunted by your touch

Oh my darling, darling, Elisabeth

If I could make it out

Of a life where I lose you

Were we ever really true

My Elisabeth

If I find someone, someday

Will it ever feel the way

The love and the heartbreak

Elisabeth

Oh darling, darling

Can we just play pretend

As if nothing, nothing

Is killing me again

Have I ever been in love

Or just haunted by your touch

Oh my darling, darling, Elisabeth

Now I'm sittin' here

On my rotten back porch swing

Arms wrapped 'round the old six-string

She used to play
