Ian Foster - A Large Crowd Gathers for the Deceased Jeff Elliot´s Encore Performance lyrics

A large crowd had gathered Outside the Tranzac Because they'd heard that Jeff Elliot Who had been dead, was somehow now back Beside me stood three beauties As young and perfect as the blue sky They couldn't wait to see him But none of them really knew why We didn't love him when it mattered When any day we could've heard him sing It took him going away forever For us to see he was worth anything Now he don't belong to us But to those who saw what he could be Before the shadow of his fate Lit up his light for all to see The heat inside made it close And smoke was in the air But no one cared because his genius Like the smoke, was in the air The three beauties pushed to the front Just like they'd always done They only knew one song They hoped he'd play that one The opening act was a mystery That everyone ignored We had only one destination There was no need to explore And finally the lights dimmed And everybody turned around To see the man the world had told us Would knock us to the ground Chorus He played all the hits That we all learned after he died Even the posthumous release That made the three beauties cry His words rattled like the chains Like a ghost that ran through my head We repented with our love But in the end he said You didn't love me when it mattered When any day you could've heard me sing It took me going away forever For you to see I was worth anything I don't belong to you But to those who saw what I could be Before the shadow of my fate Lit up my light for all to see Before the shadow of my fate…
