Elysian Fields - Bum Raps & Love Taps lyrics

Teardrop on your cheek How many woes you speak You've been alone for so long When did you forget your song? When was your last kiss? How many lovers will you miss? You're tired and you're lonely now You don't have to be lonely now Time will not wait Though you pushed it aside Don't be afraid Oh faded bride Little bird out on a limb It's getting cold out And I can't invite you in Better not hold out Better fly away from here And leave behind your fear Nothing is certain now And no one can show you how Faith you couldn't brave Finally you've been betrayed Oh this dark wave Knocked you down and swept you away And the old 78 is skipping Better be there when the band starts playing Oh ruined maid All the love you couldn't save Now it's getting late Slip softly into starlight Time to turn away They've been waiting on the other side Don't be afraid Slip softly into starlight Slip softly into starlight Starlight
