Sunrisin'
She tells him she's leaving
Yeah, wouldn't he believe it
She says that it's late and I gotta go and do good deeds
Oh
'Cause I was born on the wrong side of the river
And I stole with my eyes something from you
She looked like a front row member of a street accident crowd
The drunken garter of some man of learning, you should have no doubt
And there was no safe place to rest your eyes when she was around
Oh, no safe place from those hard jutting points of desire
Elenore
Elenore
Elenore
The lonely gonna leave you alone for
Elenore
Elenore
Elenore
The lonely gonna leave you alone for
A brown-eyed girl steps out of a car and turns around
And crosses the road and lights up a smoke and disappears through a door
While the car pulls off a man stands alone on a curb
Of a city that glittered with a girl
Of whom he dreamed he'd keep safe from this world
Elenore
Elenore
Elenore
The lonely gonna leave you alone for
Elenore
Elenore
Elenore
The lonely gonna leave you alone for
Sunrisin'
And the devil in his veins
And a black leather coat to go with the guns
'Cause I had to make amends
Gunshot eyes take a man by surprise
While her hands were reaching for the phone
He says, don't turn around, no, don't turn around
And his hands were reaching for the door
I see your spirit rising (Rising, rising)
Rising like a flower, oh (Flower, flower)
And I know you cannot hear this (Hear this)
Oh, lonely by the hour
Elenore
Elenore
Elenore
The lonely gonna leave you alone for
Elenore
Elenore
Elenore
The lonely gonna leave you alone for
