Ellie's Song Songtext

von Jimmy LaFave

Little Ellie, don't cry
Your tears melt in the rain
You're a long way from home
Feeling the strain
Hold onto your heart
Hold onto your dreams
You know things are never as bad as they seem
It's the city
Oh the city
Hey, baby, you got nothing to lose
Big city
New York City
New York City with the blues
Raining down on you
Raining down on you
Little Ellie, stay close
To the things you hold dear
Keep the light in your eyes
And don't ever fear
Everything you desire
Is part of a plan
I know in time
That you'll understand
Oh the city
New York City
Hey, babe, you got nothing to lose
Big city
Oh the city
New York City with the blues
Raining down on you
Raining down on you
Little Ellie, I know
That you're gonna survive
You got what it takes, baby
Keep it alive
A moment lasting
A vision so true
I want you to know
I won't forget about you
Oh the city
In the city
Well, babe, you got nothing to lose
Big city
Big big city
New York City with the blues
Raining down on you
Falling down on you
Raining down on you
Little Ellie, don't cry
Your tears they only melt in the rain
