Fifty Miles Of Elbow Room Lyrics - Infamous Angel - Iris Dement

Twelve-hundred miles, it's length and breadth 

That four-square city stands 

It's gem-set walls of jasper shine 

They're not made by human hands 

One-hundred miles, it's gates are wide 

Abundant entrance there 

With fifty miles of elbow room 

On either side to spare 

When the gates swing wide on the other side 

Just beyond the sunset sea 

There'll be room to spare as we enter there 

There'll be room for you and room for me 

For the gates are wide on the other side 

Where the fairest flowers bloom 

On the right hand and on the left hand 

Fifty miles of elbow room 

Sometimes I'm cramped and I'm crowded here 

And I long for elbow room 

Now I long to reach for altitude 

Where the fairest flowers bloom 

It won't be long before I pass 

Into that city fair 

With fifty miles of elbow room 

On either side to spare 

Oh, when the gates swing wide on the other side 

Just beyond the sunset sea 

There'll be room to spare as we enter there 

There'll be room for you and room for me 

Oh, for the gates are wide on the other side 

Where the fairest flowers bloom 

On the right hand and on the left hand 

Fifty miles of elbow room
