lyrics

Elena waits beside the window
Sadness shining lighthouse-bright
And all the boats at sea are drawn to her
On lonely summer nights

Elena sees into my center
Although she doesn’t know my name
And with the slightest smile, she turns her face
And I am set aflame

Elena, such a shame to brush those tears away
Elena, I would kiss them all if I could stay

But I am just another sailor
Singing yet another song
And the waves, they will be calling me to leave before too long

I think of all that I could give her
I think of everything I own
And I imagine us together, but I dream of her alone

Elena, such a shame to brush those tears away
Elena, I would kiss them all if I could stay

She is cloaked behind the curtains, flattened on the wall
Invisible to everyone, unthinkable to all
She is tethered to her sorrow by a ribbon of regret
And ‘round the room she spins in an unending pirouette

Elena, such a shame to brush those tears away
Elena, I would kiss them all if I could stay

Elena wades into the ocean
Elena curls into a shell
Elena wonders what might happen if she couldn’t swim so well

And I could be the one to save her
Be the one to set her free
But I blow a final kiss to her and she’s forgotten me

Elena, such a shame to brush those tears away
Elena, I would kiss them all if I could stay
If I could stay
