Ah Memories...

Today, I stretched out on my carpet in the living room and played old mix CDs from "back in the day." I was looking for one song in particular that I had been thinking about for weeks but couldn't remember what CD I had burned it onto...after about three hours of flipping through songs, I heard the first opening chords and closed my eyes and smile....


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
Good, Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth, Goodnight
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
Good, Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth, Goodnight
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
Good,Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth, Goodnight--Counting Crows
