Elysian Fields - Madeleine lyrics

What to do Madeleine Sigh or reach Madeleine What to be Madeleine Sky or tree Madeleine Ooh Madeleine She's wooing the rain And changing the names Of everything What's in your hand Madeleine? Much more than you know little darling Cup your ear towards the window The owl he hoots in the night He says, "Who's Madeleine?" A flickering flame Rivaling the light from all the stars She's on the ridge in the dusk Which way will she go? Down to the field of rusteds She stands so still in the breeze You stand so still my love With all your might Where do you go my love With your eyes shut tight? There's a swirl at your feet The leaves they scamper and chide They say, "Who's Madeleine?" A flickering flame Drying the tears of heaven
