Leif Vollebekk - Elegy lyrics

By the cards of major arcana [?] Little leather jacket and a black bandana Kicking over trash cans and telling jokes in Atlanta When I got the fever It hit me like a fan on the back of the hand I don't know who I am But I'm free for nothing, good for nothing too Present dreams [?] still care about you Won't you let me in one more time, babe I want to feel it too Well nothing is a lie, babe if you know it ain't true Take a look at me now Take a look at me now Reparations now coming my way Dues that I've recollected that I never paid In the stained gla** windows babe I feel the presence, oh yeah But that don't mean I'm done with repenting so oh no Going to find another way to climb out of this basement Going to find out what that smile on your face meant Like a thief that you borrow baby take a hold of me, take flight And I want to do your bidding babe I want to steal away in the night Take a look at me now Take a look at me now Heart's on fire; so is the page Everybody round here is telling me to act my age, I'm trying Things are only revealed in the light that is given Oh to be free from the pardon when all else is forgiven Rain outside is blowing in the curtains Nothing is revealed but nothing is for certain As I recall you was drinking from the sanctuary wine Well don't worry baby we'll find all of our lost time Take a look at me now Take a look at me now As I recall you were standing there, you was holding your rosary beads Everyone around here seems to think he knows what he needs Seven ugly reasons kept me away from you then Nothing is much weaker than the resolve of most men I remember when we was alone in your room Staring out your window we knew you'd be going soon And I was so young babe I hope that you knew that I meant well And when I looked in your eyes I thought I knew you could tell Now I'm blowing back from the cemetery gates You who I love dearly now I must wait To be reunited in the sky when it opens Well my feet are so tired baby but my spirit ain't broken Take a look at me now Take a look at me now
