I set the table
I poured the wine
I heard a sound
I watched for signs
I got up and looked around
Not another soul was found

I ate in silence
I cleaned my plate
I prayed for something
To seal my fate
Though I wanted it so much
Not a single drop was touched

Elijah Elijah
When are you coming home
Elijah Elijah
You know that I hate to be alone
Elijah Elijah

You're someone I've always known

I remembered
To open the door
Wind started blowin'
Across the floor
And then a rustle
Against the screen
But it was just a magazine

Elijah Elijah
When are you coming home
Elijah Elijah
You know that I hate to be alone
Elijah Elijah

You're someone I've always known

I've been waiting for you
(Waiting, waiting)
No one knows it but you
Elijah

I was happy
Back in my youth
'Til someone told me you can't
Hide the truth
I can't predict what is to be
But he'll be coming
Back to me

Elijah Elijah
When are you coming home
Elijah Elijah
You know that I hate to be alone
Elijah Elijah

You're someone I've always known.
