The Elephant Ride

<br>(difford/tilbrook)<br><br><br><br>Today is none of our concern<br><br>That rewarding cigarette<br><br>That burns slowly by the bed<br><br>Fills the room with mystery<br><br>The apple ripens on the tree<br><br>That protected seal of love<br><br>Broken by the flame of fun<br><br>Lying back with exodus<br><br>In the arms of lovers trust<br><br><br><br>That romantic dance of light<br><br>From the curtain broken night<br><br>Shadows fall on mystery<br><br>Love has ripened here for me<br><br>Stubbing out the cigarette<br><br>I see the clothes beside the bed<br><br>As the half light of the day<br><br>Pulls the sheet up once again<br><br><br><br>As the phone hangs by the cord<br><br>As the streets begin to fill<br><br>Theres no distance anymore<br><br>Theres no wanting when you will<br><br>Will be sleeping through the day<br><br>As the world around us turns<br><br>As the phone hangs by the cord<br><br>Today is none of our concern
