Ian Moore Elephant Tears
Elephant tears tracking softly down his face
All the pain he couldn't place
Someone had to take the fall
Didn't look close enough to see
That this elephant was me
Butterfly quilt stretching all across the sky
Filled the autumn day with light
They flew straight into my eyes
Well I was blinded by the sun
But it turned cold and now they're gone
Well I'm free just like I wanted; got no promises to tend;
Got no favors left to lend
Just the mark that's on my hand
Well that black-eyed Susan knows my number
My name she's soon to learn
I'm just one step from her turn
And then I'm done
So I'll go on just the same, with my body and my name
I've got nothing left to hide;
Everything is open wide
But I hear you in your song
Yeah girl I heard you all along
Yeah I hear you in your song
Yeah baby I heard you all along
