Madeleine Lyrics by Elysian Fields

For House Cats and Sea Fans

2014

What to do Madeleine
Sigh or reach Madeleine
What to be Madeleine
Sky or tree Madeleine
Oh Madeleine
She's wooing the rain
And changing the names
Of everything
What's in your hand Madeleine
Much more than you know little darling
Cup your ear towards the window
The owl he hoots in the night
He says, "Who's Madeleine?"
A flickering flame
Rivaling the light from all the stars
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
She's on the ridge in the dusk
Which way will she go
Down to the field of rusteds
She stands so still in the breeze
You stand so still my love
With all your might
Where do you go my love
With your eyes shut tight
Oh Madeleine
There's a swirl at your feet
The leaves they scamper and chide
They say, "Who's Madeleine?"
A flickering flame
Drying the tears of heaven
