Ellen Lyrics

The song Ellen is performed by 10,000 Maniacs .



Eager to please was just the way
but in the evening all alone Ellen unplanned delays saving for someone
they say married to your name she was the kind between a child and a lady,
that he was though his attempts there falling short,
expectation see he would tell of all his conquests, was he bragging?
quick was her temper like a blaze from an ember no one had measured
who really cared about you invincible
to open their minds and to take a chance maybe on finding
to her standard, so in the evening all alone all alone how do I tell them
life's treasure stubborn they stay set in their ways really not wanting
to be lonely not alone





Ellen
