I was wasted in the afternoon Waiting on a train I woke up in pieces and Elisabeth had disappeared again I wish you were inside of me I hope that you're ok I hope you're resting quietly I just wanted to say Goodnight Elisabeth Goodnight Elisabeth We couldn't all be cowboys So some of us are clowns Some of us are dancers on the midway We roam from town to town I hope that everybody can find a little flame Me, I say my prayers, then I just light myself on fire And I walk out on the wire once again And I say Goodnight Elisabeth Goodnight Elisabeth I will wait for you in Baton Rouge I'll miss you down in New Orleans I'll wait for you while she slips in something comfortable And I'll miss you when I'm slipping in between If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain And if you're the queen of California Baby I am the king of the rain And I say Goodnight Elisabeth Goodnight Elisabeth
