ROY WOOD - Dear Elaine



  My dear Elaine, may I see you again?
  For I"ve loved you and I hope to be forgiven
  It"s been a cold night
  How I long to see the light
  To have you there, to feel your hair
  
  Dear Elaine, will it still be the same?
  From the gateway to your arms I am forbidden
  It"s been a cold night
  Need the love that burns so bright
  To have you there, to feel your hair
  
  Thoughts that once remained discreet
  Fall like servants at your feet
  Ah ah ah
  
  Come here, Elaine, please attend to the pain
  Please relieve the darkened clouds of evening
  Prayers I could say
  How you swept them all away
  I can"t believe you chose to leave
  
  God that wears a sallow face
  Seems to put me in my place
  Ah ah ah
  
  Dear Elaine, will it still be the same?
  Now the house of spirit crumbles
  For your love wears many gowns
  Love has risen, it has stumbled
  Dear Elaine, why should you wish to leave?
  
  Dear Elaine, may I see you again
  For I"ve loved you and I hope to be forgiven
  It"s been a cold night
  How I long to see the light
  To have you there, to feel your hair
  Dear Elaine
