Eliana

Come out, come out the fire's out
They're filing in, they'll start the count
Come out, come out please God now
The very least just make a sound

We'll hide away 'till maybe May
The ground is soft with longer days
We'll change the locks and buy some paint
And pray for hardwood underneath

Eliana, don't brace for rain
Eliana, it'll rain here every day
Eliana, just sing a sad song
Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long

There's demons in the house tonight
The old man left some gold in sight
He held the door and left the lights
They kicked their feet and drank the wine

Eliana, don't brace for rain
Eliana, it'll rain here every day
Eliana, just sing a sad song
Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long

While your daddy sleeps, with the TV on
And your mother's getting older than she'll let on
And your brother's back home from another endless war
Hiding in his room he's waiting out another storm
All your friends are dancing like nothing has changed
They'll just blame Jesus Christ for what becomes their fate
Then you'll meet another on a winter Wednesday night
But you just can't beat it but god damn you tried

Eliana, don't brace for rain
Eliana, it'll rain here every day
Eliana, just sing a sad song
Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long
