Two Places at Once

Arrive in a high city
Somewhere in the east
Floating down a crowded street
As though I am or I will be released
Elly stop yawning, clear blue morning
In mourning no more
Come and see the wild things
That are just beyond the door
But there's an old man here
He claims that he knew you
In another life
I'm not sure what he's saying
Elly, could it be he still
Thinks you're his wife
I've been waiting, seems like eternity
I've been waiting, waiting for you
I'm still waiting, if you remember me
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Drink and sing on a desert wind
Behind here
The ghosts have laid there
Fine little clay to rest
But who they left and what they
Thought they stayed for
Is crumbled in their life's dusty caress
They were so blind
They were so blind
Hiding in a hotel room
Somewhere in the west
I heard they brought a priest in
To sanctify the place
But it remained unblessed
Things move around
My guitar sometimes plays itself
They say it's static electricity but
Yesterday it took twenty dollars
Off the shelf
There's a young man here,
Says he married you in another town
The children cry and ask
Where their mother is
Gonna have to let them down
I've been hurt, I've been around
I've been waiting, seems like eternity
I've been waiting, waiting for you
I'm still waiting, if you remember me
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
