Elephant tears tracking
  softly down his face
  All the pain he couldn’t place
  someone had to take the fall
  Didn’t look close enough to see
  that this elephant was me
  
  Butterfly Quilt stretching
  all across the sky
  Fill the autumn day with light
  They flew straight into my eyes
  Well I was blinded by their song,
  but it turned cold and now they’re gone
  
  Well, I'm free just like I wanted
  Got no promises to tend,
  got no favors left to lend
  Just this mark that’s on my hand
  
  Well the black-eyed Susan
  knows my number
  My name she’s soon to learn
  I'm just one step from the turn
  and then I’m done
  
  So I'll go out just the same,
  with my body and my name
  I've got nothing left to hide,
  everything is open wide
  But I hear you in your song
  Yeah girl I heard you along
  Yeah, I hear you in your song
  Yeah baby I heard you along
