Goodnight Elisabeth Lyrics

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
Good, goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight

We couldn't all be cowboys
So, some of us are clowns
And 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
Good, goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight

I will wait for you in Bâton Rouge
I'll miss you down in New Orleans
I'll wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
I'll miss you when I'm slipping in between

If you wrap yourself in daffodils
I will wrap myself in pain, oh, oh
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
Good, goodnight Elisabeth

The moon's satellite, yeah
Now, won't you fall down on me
Now, won't you fall down on me
Come, come fall down on me now
Won't you fall down on me
'Cause I'm all alone
You ain't coming home
You just settle down, down, down into bones
I said I'm all alone
You ain't coming home
You just settle down, down, down into bones

What is the Meaning of Goodnight Elisabeth?

Written by Adam Duritz after his girlfriend split up with him due to him going on tour with the band and always being on the road. The sadness that two paths sometimes just can't connect no matter how much you want them to.
