ELLE G.
(Music: Furler, Jaynes.
Lyrics: Taylor.)
<Verse 1>
Thumbs out on a desert road,
I am told, leads to nowhere.
Any shade is as good as the next,
If your shadow doesn't go there.
Week seven: Did you really assume,
I'd find some solace from the letter in your room?
Next life, could you kindly refrain,
From throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?
<Chorus>
Silence all, nobody breathe,
How in the world could you just leave?
You promised you would,
Silence that evil with good.
Hear me out, I have the floor,
I'll give you my tears, I'll listen more.
You promised you would,
Overcome evil with good.
<Verse 2>
Maybe this world is a barren place for a soul,
Prone to get lost.
But heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds,
To the cries of the storm-tosed.
Week nine: I am writing in the sand,
Any little clue that could help me understand,
Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh,
Every half-truth that was added to a lie/
<Chorus 2>
Silence all, nobody move,
I've got to know now what you hoped to prove.
You promised you would,
Silence that evil with good.
Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release.
You took it to God,
You made your peace,
And swore that you would,
Overcome evil with good.
<Bridge>
Every old demon playing back the crime,
If they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine.
A Child of the Kingdom; still an invalid.
Forgive her, please Father,
She don't know what she did.
<Chorus 3>
Silence all, now go to sleep,
The water's free, the well is deep.
How can we return,
That which we never could earn?
God, I long to see her face,
We haven't a hope beyond Your grace.
I know that You will, overcome evil,
For good.
