These best night steps I stop to see
My anxious words move awkwardly
Retracing Montegue walks again

Pick up the pace, you're dragging me

Now, you are my ecstasy
You're shaking this cold heart clean
Now it may be too soon to tap the tree
I'm aching hard, these hooks dig deep

CHORUS
Elizabeth, please
Your cold kisses keep me warm
Complete this promenade, the bridge lights beg
Let me take you home

Elizabeth, please
My patience in December breeze
Don't let me be alone again tonight
Let me take you home

VERSE2
These favors I lay and you receive
These things she borrowed you reprieve
These holes that you patch
They don't hold back this bitter breeze
And I watch your brow, your crooked brow, question me


CHORUS


BRIDGE
Now you may not just be a pretty eye

And this may not be idle time

But understand,
These gifts I give
May not be gifts for you
But gifts I need to give for me


SOLO


VERSE3
I re-taste our first night's ease
I watch your finger touch tease
I feel that wicked grin deceive
So take me home
Or let me be


Elizabeth, please
Elizabeth, please
