Elizabeth Lyrics - One Lost Day - Indigo Girls

Three streets off the grid, we were barely kids 

But we were old enough to drink in Louisiana 

We listened to 'The King Must Die', 'On the Willows' drank the wine 

We could afford from the work study manna 

Were were young but not that young 

To be cutting our fingers and mixing our blood 

Climbing the fence of the St. Louis cemetery 

We caught on my heart's desire 

Big as the 1788 fire 

Put on little quennie and bring me another whiskey

Elizabeth, the last I heard, you're in Savannah 

You got married after art school happily 

I didn't want to look you up, I'm pretty sure it's just enough 

That I remember you fondly 

I didn't have a car, but I did have a guitar 

And I played to my advantage when you let me 

I only stayed 2 years, but it still appears 

After all of this time the memories still get me 

I was young but not that young 

To be tied in a knot that was coming undone 

The spooks and haunts that vexed me veiled my eyes 

It was always dark back then 

It was always 3 am 

I shake my head to think I made it out alive 

Photos 

Out at night under the lights 

Some band is singing a memory 

Everybody hits record to play it back over time 

But when I look back on our dance 

I only wanna hear that music once 

And remember it forever in my mind
