"Elizabeth's Gone"
|
 from the CD
|
Verse I
Anne dropped out the spring of her senior year.
Ricky skipped out saying he wanted a career.
We think we learned it all, as we loiter in high school halls.
The reveille of opportunities call
We board the bus to go where Elizabeth's Gone.
Verse II
Dan has a job driving a cattle rig.
Kate's a folk singer playing coffeehouse gigs.
Some still live in town, some have married and moved around
Some we lost track of and never found
Scratching our heads wondering where Elizabeth's Gone.
Chorus
Just like Thomas Wolfe said, you can't go home again
The years get further with every mile.
Attending these reunions, is a kind of academic communion
We drink the wine and say the bread is fine.
Verse III
Brenda went to college and she's studying there still.
Brian spends his winters down in Guayaquil
B'wana got to carry suitcase, learn to live at your own pace
Get up every morning by 11:58.
Laying in the sand and sun where Elizabeth's Gone.
Chorus
Verse V
Karen wore her hair in a Farrah Fawcett curl.
She liked sports and boys but now she likes girls.
Rumor said she'd go to third base, they deny it now to save face
Some wear leather some wear lace.
We're all wondering now which way Elizabeth's Gone.
Chorus
