Elaine - Michael McArthur

Just as I’m watching

Through crystalline sky

The answer it comes

Even for eyes like mine

Winter breeze ties me

To her perfume skin

Call all my senses now

She’s peppermint wind

Maybe love is all I need I’ve been low, below my knees

Close my eyes, so I can see

I’ve grown tired of the same old things Elaine

You’re not your body

You’re not your skin

Beauty ain’t the bones

You’ve been hidden in

So where do we go, love

When the body dies?

And what do you see now

When you close your eyes?

All right

Maybe love is all you need

Have you been low as low can be?

Close your eyes, so you can see

And never mind the momentary things Elaine

We’re all birds

We all fly

We all live

To touch the sky

And maybe love is all we need

If you’ve been low as low can be

Close your eyes, see what you see

And never mind the ever fleeting things Elaine
