Elsah, Illinois Letra

When I woke up this morning, I had no idea what kisses could come to and how I felt about you we drove across the river and we drove across the years We knew there were answers deep in our fears you asked me to tell you what was mine in this world said, this won't take long, and I gave it a whirl I've got poems for your waking and songs for your sleep The stories I've stolen, I'll give you to keep know the hills of West Virginia and the streets of Santa Fe Know everything I've ever done has led up to this day we were sitting in a meadow, bathed in the birth of light in Elsah, Illinois, I said, will you be my wife? I said, look Claire, the sun's a plie, such insensible light let's sink into togetherness, forever tonight
