Story Behind The Song
This is a story about love. The woman I loved is...
Song Description
A soft, intoxicating, off-beat love song. TSO from MoonTheory writes (about Elsa Green and the R-Three music in general): "...you've really got great skill at constructing alluringly mysterious atmoshpheres in your music. i found this one to be effectively entrancing in a heavy and sad way. surprisingly disarming emotionally. i've really enjoyed ...these songs especially their palatial or museum-like ornamentation - many curious corners and subtle details which captivate even upon several repeat listenings."

Lyrics
Elsa Green
When I touch your face
I never know who I'm looking at
Please me
and hold yourself down...
it'll kill you in the end
like sleep
just like sleep
And I love your face
but never know just where you're at
Leave me
and knock yourself 'round
it'll kill you in the end
this dream
this dream like sleep
"impossible", "Bride", "golden mystery", "Prize"
I could never wait in line
behind
all your other men
Where's it gonna end,
this scene?
This recycled dream?
When will you love
being
whoever you really are
Elsa Green?
We are chasing the wrong dream...
You don't have to take the blame,
you don't have to change your name,
Elsa Green
We are chasing the wrong dream...
You don't need no cherrycoke
to make it through the day
You don't have to make your man
feel A-okay
You don't need permission
to love you anyway
Don't trust history
to tell you anything straight....
