Elyria

from Elyria by Billy Simons Jr.

lyrics

He was already gone by the time she heard the radio saying what he’d done
On his own, on the run in the back of any pickup truck driving towards the sun

And no he could not criticize her but he could never understand
How she could soon forget so easily
Like a two ton bomb across his back
He was hit by every word
And fallout soon became their history

He says “Elyria, won’t you call my name out loud?”
“Elyria, won’t you call my name out loud?”

Past the night, through the cold all the smokestacks and the factories did as they were told
And she was right and he a fool, and it was easier to let him go with something else to hold

And no he could not criticize her but he could never understand
How she could soon forget so easily
Like a two ton bomb across his back
He was hit by every word
And fallout soon became their history

He says “Elyria, won’t you call my name out loud?”
“Elyria, won’t you call my name out loud?”
