Michael McArthur - Elaine

Just as I’m watching
Through crystalline sky
The answer it comes
Even for eyes like mine

Winter breeze ties me
To her perfume skin
Call all my senses now
She’s peppermint wind

Maybe love is all I need
I’ve been low, below my knees
Close my eyes, so I can see
I’ve grown tired of the same old things
Elaine

You’re not your body
You’re not your skin
Beauty ain’t the bones
You’ve been hidden in

So where do we go, love
When the body dies?
And what do you see now
When you close your eyes?
All right

Maybe love is all you need
Have you been low as low can be?
Close your eyes, so you can see
And never mind the momentary things
Elaine

We’re all birds
We all fly
We all live
To touch the sky

And maybe love is all we need
If you’ve been low as low can be
Close your eyes, see what you see
And never mind the ever fleeting things
Elaine
