lyrics

Oh Mama you should see how they are falling at our feet
The lights here seem so bright and there’s more color in the streets
The crowd sings when we sing and moves to every beat
But at night I still dream of Ellie Jane
And the men who introduce us oh they say that we are stars
And were drinking better coffee and we’re smoking big cigars
But the moments when it’s quiet we remember what we are
And I think of the words of Ellie Jane

When you’ve got people all around
And they say they love your sound
And they ask you how it feels
To be a refuge and a thrill
When you’re walking down some street in Spain
Will you tell them what you did to Ellie Jane?

I’ve been trying to tell myself she latched on for the ride
And at times I believe this so I push her words aside
But the day that she left something inside me died
When no one knew me I was loved by Ellie Jane

When you’ve got people all around
And they say they love your sound
And they ask you how it feels
To be a refuge and a thrill
When you’re walking down some street in Spain
Will you tell them what you did to Ellie Jane?

And these cathedrals here are pretty but they make me feel so lost
I’m tired of seeing poor Jesus still hanging on that cross
Flames and incense in the air makes you question what you tossed
Oh those words of Ellie Jane
But I’ve been told to take this train just as far as it will go
So tonight we’ll bring them music oh tonight will be a show
And they’ll never see the sadness and they will never know
There was a time I only sang for Ellie Jane

When you’ve got people all around
And they say they love your sound
And they ask you how it feels
To be a refuge and a thrill
When you’re walking down some street in Spain
Will you tell them what you did to Ellie Jane?
