Counting Crows Goodnight Elisabeth (New Amsterdam) 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

Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth

We couldn't all be cowboys
So some of us are clowns
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 walk out on the wire once again
And I say

Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth

Come on down... cover me with your eyes
You used to come on and cover me with your eyes
And now you tell me everything is gonna be all right
And now you tell me everything is gonna be all right

You wanna make me think that its all right
While you are walking away
You wanna tell me that its all right
While you are walking away
You wanna make me think that its all right
While you are walking away

You wanna tell me that its all right
for you to treat me this way...
well its not all right with me
Its not all right with me
It is not all right with me
Its not all right with me

I will wait for you in Baton 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
If you're the queen of California,
Baby I am the king of the rain
And I said

Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight
I said goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight, goodnight

You wanna make me think that its all right
While you are walking away
You wanna tell me everyhing is all right
While you are walking, walking away
You wanna tell me that its all right
While you are walking away
You wanna make me think that its all right
For you to treat me this way

But its not all right with me
