Elijah
Words and music by Adrianne Duncan

A cold dark road
On a winter night
The tree bark shimmers
In the sharp moonlight

A slant of moon
Cuts across her face
She slips on a stone
But regains her place

What desperate place
Is she hurrying to?
What debt, what favor
Does she owe, to who?

Who could she owe
This girl alone
On a night like this
When she should be home

The man from Sudan
Opens up the door
Of the small stone cottage
She was there before

He beckons her over
To the fireplace
She takes off her gloves
He touches her face

The lovers embrace
In the fire’s glow
One dark as velvet
One pale as snow

He smoothes her hair
And regards her face
Lays her gently down
And fills her with grace

Elijah, Elijah

It was a cold shining dawn
When they took her man away
The silence was heavy
She remembers it today

She thinks of him often
When the snow starts to fall
On these wintry nights
She remembers it all

She closes her eyes
To see his beautiful face
She cannot capture his image
She’s losing his place

She could never understand
Why they had to interfere
With a man that was so pure
With a love that was so clear

Elijah, Elijah
