The Waterboys - The Elegant Companion lyrics

That elegant companion of mine That woman of the rain Holding me as I sleep On the Yokohama train Tracing the straight road to my heart In seven-eight time That elegant companion of mine She commands the weather Invokes a storm in an old land And smiles amid the wreckage That smile could stop a war Or start one How she shines That elegant companion of mine In the no guitar hotel In her dress with the bow When I’m ready to erupt She puts her arms around me Says Darling I’m so happy you found me She soothes my rage with a voice so kind That elegant companion of mine That elegant companion of mine
