lyrics

Elizabeth - by Patrick Spencer

C#m G#m
C#m G#m
C#m A
F# B

E A
Oh Elizabeth, the queen of the lions
E B
I will stand at the mouth of your cave
E A
And I know if I go in that you could eat me for dinner
E B
But I don’t know how I should behave

It shakes me to darken your doorway,
Without a sensible cause,
So I’ll slip out of sight and head back into the night,
And return with a trophy for you in my jaws,

Oh Elizabeth, the queen of the lions
I will stand at the mouth of your cave
And I know if I go in that you could eat me for dinner
But I don’t know how I should behave

I will wait all alone in the darkness,
I’m nearly used to the cold,
I’ll wait out all night, knowing there’s a chance I might be
Leaving with the Queen of the Lions to Hold

Oh Elizabeth
(Intrumental)
E A
E B
E A
E B B

C#m G#m
I can see that you have been beaten
C#m G#m
I can see from the length of those scars,
C#m A
But I see you asleep, by the light of the moon
F# B
As I have you all wrapped up in my paws.

E A
Oh Elizabeth, the queen of the lions
E B
I will stand at the mouth of your cave
E A
And I know if I go in that you could eat me for dinner
E B
But I don’t know how I should behave

Coldwater Road Vancouver, British Columbia

Founded by Patrick Spencer in 2012, CwRoad gives folk music a reason to dance. Waltzing between love songs and foot-stomping murder ballads, there's a story for everyone. Their style reaches across Folk, Americana, Rock, and Country; like Don McLean sitting in with the Lumineers. Coldwater Road is a five-piece folk/rock group with rich harmonies and driving rhythm. ... more
