lyrics

I walk all night

Under the pines

Search for the light

Look for a sign

Forever fumbling through the night

The everglades shrouding me despite

All of my sins for they

Know for whom they should pray

But they won’t come looking for me

The seasons have turned and the breeze

It calls out my name

Elijah

It should have been you

All of my faults beseech

A clearing just out of reach

Destined to walk these woods

As if repentance could

Obligate looking for me

The dirt on my hands

Won’t come clean

But I know the truth

Elijah

It should have been you

Elijah

It was always you

Elijah

I know the truth

They won’t know where to find me

The dust in the halls

The mist in the creek

For I know the truth

Elijah

I’m coming for you

Elijah

And I’m waiting for you

Elijah

It should have been you

Elijah

I know the truth
