Elliott Smith - L a Lyrics

The gentle little elaine,

Spinning his hat on a cane

Stepping out, out for change

"good morning all, its a beautiful day"



The generals are winning a war

Seemed suicidal before

You came alone, now

Ill protect you, long as you stay



Lllllaaaaa

One of a kind

Youll be walking in the sun

Living in the day

Last night I was about to throw it all away



If patience started a band,

Id be her biggest fan

Look at me, Im talking to you

I dont want the lead in your play



The stars just a part of the scene

The gentle man in green

Paying off, out on the street

I cant go home, its not on my way



Llllllaaaaaa

Things are never done, cars parked in the sun

Living in the day

Last night I was about to throw it all away (4 times)
