Dear Elaine - Roy Wood

My dear Elaine, may I see you again?

For I’ve loved you and I hope to be forgiven

It’s been a cold night, how I long to see the light

To have you there, to feel your hair

Dear Elaine, will it still be the same?

From the gateway to your arms I am forbidden

It’s been a cold night, need the love that burns so bright

To have you there, to feel your hair

Thoughts that once remained discreet

Fall like servants at your feet

Ah ah ah

Come here, Elaine, please, attend to the pain

Please, relieve the darkened clouds of evening

Prayers I could say, how you swept them all away

I can’t believe you chose to leave

God, that wears a sallow face

Seems to put me in my place

Ah ah ah

Dear Elaine, will it still be the same?

Now the house of spirit crumbles for your love wears many gowns

Love has risen, it has stumbled

Dear Elaine, why should you wish to leave?

Dear Elaine, may I see you again?

For I’ve loved you and I hope to be forgiven

It’s been a cold night, how I long to see the light

To have you there, to feel your hair, dear Elaine
