Ellen

10,000 Maniacs / Mary Ramsey

Eager to please was just the way that he was
Though his attempts there falling short, expectation
See he would tell of all his conquests, was he bragging?
But in the evening all alone, all alone

Ellen unplanned delays
Saving for someone who really cared about you
Invincible, they say
Married to your name

She was the kind between a child and a lady,
Quick was her temper like a blaze from an ember
No one had measured to her standard
So in the evening all alone, all alone

Ellen unplanned delays
Saving for someone who really cared about you
Invincible, they say
Married to your name

How do I tell them to open their minds
And to take a chance maybe on finding life's treasure

Stubborn they stay set in their ways
Really not wanting to be lonely, not alone

Ellen unplanned delays
Saving for someone who really cared about you
Invincible, they say
Married to your name

Ellen unplanned delays
Saving for someone who really cared about you
Invincible, they say
Married to your name
