The hospital called last nightThey said you’d gone code silverThey sent the police out searchin’Found you down at Fifth and MinnaHigh on crack cocaineYou and Juan ValdezThey sent him back to jailAnd they put you back to bedThey called in the mornin’ Said you were found outsideAnd put the phone downYour cat jumped on my lapAnd I laid down and I took a napFeelin’ bad and full of shameThat I somehow contributed to your painI wish I could help you with your problemsBut babe, I got enough of my ownI fell asleep and dreamed of youThe PA said code blueI hailed a taxicabGot there and found you up in west twoMy beautiful sweet ElaineAll that was killin’ you finally drainedFrom your sweet angelic faceAnd I kneeled downLetras de cancionesAnd whispered your nameI cried and I criedYou crawled and found a cornerAnd you diedI ought to kiss my sweet Elaine goodbyeAnd I walked out in the rainI walked out in the rainAnd there you were againLookin’ down on me from highLike a cloud in the skyI cried and I criedI remembered all the nightsThat I loved my sweet Elaine And that I kissed my sweet ElaineAnd then I looked up highSaw you floatin’ in the skyAnd I cried and I criedLike a baby I criedNot much to pick from in my viewTrees that shake when the wind comes throughAnd boats, I guess, and the water is blueBut I only feel alive when the birds flyNot much to pick from in my record collectionI sold ‘em all away, don’t want no recollectionI put ‘em in the past, don’t wanna hear the songsJust wanna play guitar and sing my ownThe phone rang, I picked up, it was youYou said you were out there waitin’I hailed a taxi, pulled up frontThere stood a pretty lady smokin’ a cigaretteLookin’ eight pounds heavierI helped you into the backAnd put your bags in the trunk From Letras Mania
