Ellie's Song

J D Cully

No, I'm not doing well at all

Reached for the sky on wings of freedom

But took a fall

 

Never thought it would all go wrong

But when a weatherchange called my name

It stopped the song

 

Yes, I was flying for the top

But the trains came to a dead stop

And the 34 Club fell down

It'll never come back around

 

They're not singing when they're women any more

 

Now my angel's lost her wings

All my friends and supporters have moved on

To other things

 

I can't win and it's not right

Just another dead hope washed away

On a lonely night

 

It's over for the Grand Tour

For the vision I was living for

Sweet city of my dreams fell down

And she's never coming back to town

 

They're not singing when they're women any more
