Lyrics Ellen, Oh Ellen - Ludlow

Oh, my darling
I'm lost in the smoke
I would die to save our son
I think we're dying for us both

I write it all down
When you get here, to prove
That our god left the coal mine
And the devil came through

It's half past two
Everybody from our crew
Cannot think or speak or move
But for a lonely, lying few

Tell me who
Can come and save me from this tomb
Give me strength to stand and move
And bust through boulders back to you

Found a safe haven
To wait out the wreck
Little Elbert is saved
By the lord, so he says

It don't seem right
Now that I've come to
That in the fight for our lives
We've got nothing to do

There's so much to lose
Summer nights in county pools
Halloween costumes
Breathing with you

Tell me who
Can come and save me from this tomb
Give me strength to stand and move
And bust through boulders back to you

Oh, I wanna go back
To this morning when I woke and saw your face
To the breakfast that I left there on the plate
There's a yearning now - what more is there to bear?
To never leave them
Never leave them there

Oh, Ellen, oh, Ellen
It's been done before
Why could I not be the man
Who turned the ocean to a floor?

Oh, Ellen
Well, it's just not fair
That I praised the man who did it
And now he's just not there

Oh, I wanna go back
To the '90s, we were dancing in the rain
To my 20s when you couldn't test my faith
Now I'm leaving, if it's for a better place
Will you meet me?
Will you meet me there?

Will you meet me?
Will you meet me there?
