I'm a lyricist who's been fortunate enough to have had the pleasure of collaborating with a few very talented musicians/artists. Above is the result of some of those collaborations.
Elly was the bright one, everyone agreed
No one ever doubted, Elly would succeed
Day she drove to college, how were we to know
Places life would take her and just how far she'd go
Call came in December, middle of the night
Elly overdosing, no, that can't be right
Prelude to a nightmare that never seems to end
Where Elly's lost in alleyways, but I remember when
Me and Elly climbed up trees
Rode our bikes with banged up knees
Told each other secrets in our bedroom late at night
Elly knows I love her
She loves me too
Elly, what am I supposed to do?
Daddy took to drinking, said he blamed himself
Mama took my sister off the picture shelf
Me, I keep believing she'll wind up at my door
Elly, if you're out there, I've never loved you more
Me and Elly climbed up trees
Rode our bikes with banged up knees
Told each other secrets in our bedroom late at night
Elly knows I love her
She loves me too
Elly, what am I supposed to do?
Life is always running
Towards us, in the end
Surprising us the way it did back when
Me and Elly climbed up trees
Rode our bikes with banged up knees
Told each other secrets in our bedroom late at night
Elly knows I love her
She loves me too
Elly, what am I supposed to do?
