lyrics

[Elijah]

Mask of yellow, waiting for a fellow,
On the wall with not a call, humble and waiting and strangely ebullient.

Putting it on, I feel my troubles are all gone, I’m
Loving living, for once thinking.

Loose, gentle, eyes like slits
Warm sunshine, room well lit.

Out the window, time in a freeze.
Fruits hanging, from Christmas trees.

Dirt road stretching, yawning into winding infinity.

There’s a boy playing with his old dog in the evergreens.
I call out to him, and he responds to me.

[Saiko] Mr. Elijah, you look like you’ve nearly died.
[Elijah] Don’t you hurt my pride, you know how I’ve tried.

[Saiko] My dog here [Elijah] Has a painful limp [Saiko] But she’s happy.
Just try looking at things in a new light

[Elijah] And with that he leaves me in the daylight.
