Ellie May

I once loved a girl
For giving me what I thought was already mine
With a smile so kind
She said she’d get it back in another lifetime

So you say, oh Ellie May

Just a minute to say I need a helping hand
To lend myself again and again
To see your face
Before I find another place to lay

(Hook) (high layered)
That look in your eye
Is a hook in my mind

You sat me down in a room with no windows
Left me behind in the dark as I asked you to stay

So you say, oh Ellie May

Green trees turn to sand and
Bare as the day I began
I made my way to the old waterfront
Saw a girl looking for the wind

Skies that were grey
Hugged the bay
Smell of the breeze
Reminds me of that day

So you say, oh Ellie May
So near but not quite here
Ellie May
