Elijah - Frank Black

Wish I was back there in New England

Playing in dirt behind the bar

Or shouting voices intermingling with

«Little Little Willy» from the car

On the raft down in the harbor

Trying to push each other in

Waving hi to all the fisher boys

Going to deep-sea with their kin

Better go see Elijah 'cause he’s my only friend

Yeah, there’s only us two, it’s just us in the end

Better go see Elijah

Got nothing to say but I know that’s okay

Go see him now, go see him now, go see him now

What’s that you say?

On the bus down to Redondo

We’ve got enough for single fare

Skating back down to the condos

Breathing in that dirty air

Well, you were right to never go back

If I had only done the same

Too many years I kept on trying

To win that California game

Better go see Elijah 'cause he’s my only friend

Yeah, there’s only us two, it’s just us in the end

Better go see Elijah

Got nothing to say but I know that’s okay

Go see him now, go see him now, go see him now

What’s that you say?

Wish I was back there in New England

Playing in dirt behind the bar

I hear our voices intermingling with

«Little Little Willy» from the car

On the cliffs above the Blue Coast

Was that the last time we were free?

And where has everybody gone to?

Or was it only you and me?

Better go see Elijah 'cause he’s my only friend

Yeah, there’s only us two, it’s just us in the end

Better go see Elijah

Got nothing to say but I know that’s okay

Go see him now, go see him now, go see him now

What’s that you say?

Better go see Elijah

I got something to say

I got something to say
