What you do and what you say
Won't you have me Ellie Mae
You always glow in my archway

I could see you floating there in white
A honey kissed and sweetened sky
You're the tumbling world I can't deny

Oh oh Ellie Mae
I'm holding on
Don't you disappear
Oh oh Ellie Mae
I don't belong
Without you my dear
Oh Ellie Mae won't you stay

I found your letter on my floor
It says you're leaving Sunday morn'
It's your humour I adore

It's been a week without the sun
I'm dark and stormy feeling numb
I guess you did decide to run

Oh oh Ellie Mae
I'm holding on
Don't you disappear
Oh oh Ellie Mae
I don't belong
Without you my dear
Oh Ellie Mae won't you stay

So what's between us now?
This storm has turned to drought
Our distance crippling
I feel you slipping
The earth stopped spinning
But I won't let go now

Oh oh Ellie Mae
I'm holding on
Don't you disappear
Oh oh Ellie Mae
I don't belong
Without you my dear
Oh Ellie Mae won't you stay
Oh Ellie Mae won't you stay

What you do and what you say
I think I love you Ellie Mae
