Days Of Elaine
Lyricist:Colin Meloy
Those were the days of Elaine That was the phrase that she used To describe to her son All the fun she had had
Long before he went away Long before days of the dole And the draze and the lull But the call never came
To say, oh, oh, oh
Loitering lavender park Laying about in the day And the dark of a room While the noon passes by
Always on verge of collapse Mother would quit and then suffer A lapse from the drink You would think she was dead
What to say, oh, oh, oh She say, oh, oh, oh, oh
And the time that it takes, will it go so slow? She laid on the brakes and she dulled her glow Now, doesn't it go so slow when you build it up to tear it town? Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com You're tearing it down, you tear it down
Those were the days Those were the days of Elaine The days of Elaine The days of Elaine
A lover like Allen Dallon She followed him blind from salon to salon From the hills to the pills he would take
Her father had died in the mines Her brother had shown no remorse for his crimes When they strung him up He got all hung up on the scaffolding
But he say, oh, oh, oh He say, oh, oh, oh, oh
And the time that it takes, will it go so slow? And she laid on the brakes and she dulled her glow Now doesn't it go so slow when you build it up to tear it down? You're tearing it down, you tear it down
Those were the days Those were the days of Elaine The days of Elaine The days of Elaine, yeah
