Marie-Lynn Hammond - Elsie lyrics
Elsie was a beauty and she was a wild one the only time she pleased the family was when she married a banker's son he enlisted in the Great War there wasn't time to stop and grieve Elsie knit mufflers for the men at the front and slept with the ones on leave Restless spirit, dance, dance on maybe if you'd lived today all that drive and passion might have found a way Elsie won't you dance Elsie took a notion in nineteen-twenty-five left her husband for the man who taught her how to sail the skies tea-time at the Empress oh how the scandal runs wild my dear I hear she's in the family way and they say it's the flyer's child Restless spirit, dance, dance on maybe if you'd lived today all that drive and passion might have found a way Elsie won't you dance 2. Together like outlaws into the heart of the North Skeena Mountains, Bella Coola Gypsy Moth flying where no one had flown before Peace River, south Nahanni hard drinking, fast-living, throttle wide-open till the fast life laid him low it was never the same again after he'd gone no, it seemed there was no place left to go... It ended on the highway with the taste of whiskey and rain for a moment she was sure he was there at her side and they were flying again hand-tinted photograph of Elsie in her younger days they say my sister's got her eyes but I've got her wilful ways Restless spirit, dance, dance on maybe if you'd lived today all that drive and passion might have found a way Elsie won't you dance, dance on wherever you may be can you see a part of you t |
