Goodnight Elisabeth Counting Crows From The Album: Recovering The Satellites

I was wasted in the afternoon
Waiting on a train
I woke up in pieces and Elisabeth had disappeared again
I wish you were inside of me
I hope that you're ok
I hope you're resting quietly
I just wanted to say
Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth
We couldn't all be cowboys
So some of us are clowns
Some of us are dancers on the midway
We roam from town to town
I hope that everybody can find a little flame
Me, I say my prayers, then I just light myself on fire
And I walk out on the wire once again
And I say
Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth
I will wait for you in Baton Rouge
I'll miss you down in New Orleans
I'll wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
And I'll miss you when I'm slipping in between
If you wrap yourself in daffodils
I will wrap myself in pain
And if you're the queen of california
Baby I am the king of the rain
And I say
Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth

My mom just died Tuesday. Her name was Elizabeth and she loved Counting Crows. Her and my sister (who also died in 2007) met them during the August and Everything After era. Awesome memories. Goodnight, Elizabeth. I love you.

I love how he incorporates snippets of other songs into this one.

"I'll miss you down in New Orleans" (Miami)

"And I'll miss you when I'm slipping in between" (Murder of One)

"Baby I am the king of the rain" (Rain King)

@silvergirrl Music heals. It has been about a year for you since your mother passed and nearly two decades since mine passed. The songs that remind me of her and my childhood take me back to that time...I hope you have had that experience as well and peace be with you :)

I just miscarried twins this week. "I wish you were inside of me, I hope that you are ok. I hope you are resting quietly, I just wanted to say Good Night Elisabeth" I hope you know that Momma and Daddy will always love you!
