The Levellers - Elation lyrics

Elation:

[Verse 1]

Oh there was once a man who had lost his own smile

And he wandered the country mile after mile

Never quite knowing what he wanted to find

For his heart it lay heavy with the weight of his mind

[Verse 2]

And he looked at the land through the tears in his eyes

For he knew that there were those who would will her to die

And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet

And he heard a voice singing him softly to sleep

CHORUS

I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother - I'll be your mystical child

Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time

Will there ever be another, in this life of mine

Will there ever be another, like my mystical child

[Verse 3]

So he climbed a high hill and he looked out to sea

And he heard a voice calling out softly to him

Open your heart boy for it needs to be free

And the next time you're crying come running to me

CHORUS

[Verse 4]

So he walked through the valleys the trees and the fields

And he came to a river where she waited for him

And they looked at the water of life flowing by

And he heard a voice saying 'you're not alone in the fight'

CHORUS
