Dear Elaine

Electric Light Orchestra

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 the burns so bright,
To have you there,
To feel your hair.

Thoughts that once remained discreet,
Fall like servants at your feet.
Ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhh.

Come here, Elaine,
Please attend to the pain,
Please relieve the dark haired clouds of evening,
The prayers I could say,
How you swept them all away
I can't believe
You chose to leave,

Dawn that wears a sallow face,
Seems to put in my place,
Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh

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.
