Elephant - Benjamin Francis Leftwich

Been a while since I sat you down to talk, elephant

Been a while since I looked you in the eye, elephant

Little time since I let you in the door, elephant

Been a while since you sat me down to cry, elephant

You been hiding in the corner of the room, elephant

Been a while since December when we walked, elephant

And he fell down in the grass, as I rushed, elephant

Been a while since Amy’s been about, elephant

I just left, without a word, what a joke, elephant

Yeah, they say that we grow from when we’re low, but elephant

Come and play, don’t wanna waste another day, elephant

I know you know, it’s easier to shy away

But I am shook from tired eyes and a tired face

And I know that you know, it’s been easier to medicate

But I know that you won’t go away

Couple years since he learned how to fly, elephant

Hid the tears as I number out the time, elephant

Couple moves to the coast then to the town, and back again

Couple worlds that I was in, then I am out, elephant
