Elena

(アルバム： Silver Skies Blue - 2016)

Elena is working on Lorimer street
Directing the traffic in sweltering heat
She winds through the motions, a tape on repeat
She's there until moonlight, making ends meet

Two kids in school
Another dropped out
All drawn to darkness
Futures in doubt
Mama's heart beating on their whereabouts
How they'll find water in the merciless drought

And she prays to you
And your boundless light
That one day you'll come to make things right
Sprinkling skies of falling stars
Where she dreams of flying
Another day's gone by

Quietly humming a spiritual song
The lilt of each melody keeping her strong
Where all dreams are possible, all doubt is gone
Where instead of darkness she sees only dawn

And she prays for you
Every waking night
To dance the breezes as a kite
The endless seas surround her now
And she drifts away
How she'd love to stay

Elena is working on Lorimer street
The pavement beneath her abusing her feet
She winds through the motions, a tape on repeat
She's there until moonlight, making ends meet

She winds through the motions, a tape on repeat
She's there until moonlight, making ends meet
