Ellen

Music by 10,000 maniacs - lyrics by mary ramsey



Eager to please was just the way that he was

Though his attempts there falling short,

Expectation

See he would tell of all his conquests,

Was he bragging?

But in the evening all alone

Ellen unplanned delays

Saving for someone who really cared about you

Invincible they say

Married to your name

She was the kind between a child and a lady,

Quick was her temper

Like a blaze from an ember

No one had measured to her standard,

So in the evening all alone all alone

How do i tell them to open their minds

And to take a chance

Maybe on finding life's treasure stubborn they stay set

In their ways really not wanting to be lonely not alone.
