Roy Woods (roy Wood$) - Dear Elaine lyrics

Wood My dear Elaine, may I see you again ? For I've loved you and I hope to be forgiven It's been a cold night, how I long to see the light To have you there, to feel your hair Dear Elaine, will it still be the same ? From the gateway to your arms I am forbidden It's been a cold night, need the love that burns so bright To have you there, to feel your hair Thoughts that once remained discreet Fall like servants at your feet Ah ah ah Come here, Elaine, please, attend to the pain Please, relieve the darkened clouds of evening Prayers I could say, how you swept them all away I can't believe you chose to leave God, that wears a sallow face Seems to put me in my place Ah ah ah Dear Elaine, will it still be the same ? Now the house of spirit crumbles for your love wears many gowns Love has risen, it has stumbled Dear Elaine, why should you wish to leave ? Dear Elaine, may I see you again ? For I've loved you and I hope to be forgiven It's been a cold night, how I long to see the light To have you there, to feel your hair, dear Elaine
