Elaine - The Divine Comedy

Oh my sweetheart, very shortly

These old shoes will transport me

To a taxi that is waiting

To take me to the station

At the station is a train

With a seat booked in my name

I am coming home again

Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Elaine

Yeah

When the train can go no farther

I’ll go down to the harbour

Where a grand old ocean liner

Yearns to leave this land behind her

And when we are under way

I will shout a loud «Hooray!»

I am coming home again

Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Elaine

Yeah

Elaine

Okay

After days and days of water

I’ll sure be looking forward

To the news that we’ve made land-fall

And I sure would be thankful

If upon the dock that day

Is the one for whom I came

A young beauty by the name…

Of Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
