Elsie

Elsie, maybe not tonight
 Everything's a little much, and I'm trying to do it right
 Let's go outside, and just talk
 That's what I thought, you look lovely in this light
 Elsie, remember that old grand
 The one that looked like firewood, and your mother couldn't stand
 Found one today, it looked the same
 But it didn't have the place where we carved our names
 Faded jeans on grey seats, in that the little van you had
 Painted that thing red yourself and it didn't look half bad
 I think i left my hat in there, did you take a look for that?
 So it ends, watch it go
 Though you love, you'll never know
 Elsie don't go, promise you won't
 Who knew when these days would come, and cover us in change
 Maybe if we just loved more things would stay the same
 Elsie, that movie that we saw
 The one where they get what they need, and don't what they want
 You be my little actress on the screen
 You know I'll miss you and that sweet perfume you've had since 17
 So it ends, watch it go
 What you love, fade like smoke
 Elsie don't go, promise you won't
 Elsie don't go, promise you won't
