I walk all night
Under the pines
Search for the light
Look for a sign
Forever fumbling through the night
The everglades shrouding me despite
All of my sins for they
Know for whom they should pray
They won't come looking for me
The seasons have turned and the breeze
It calls out my name
Elijah
It should have been you
All of my faults beseech
A clearing just out of reach
Destined to walk these woods
As if repentance could
Obligate looking for me
The dirt on my hands
Won't come clean
But I know the truth
Elijah
It should have been you
Elijah
It was always you
Elijah
I know the truth
They won't know where to find me
The dust in the halls
The mist in the creek
For I know the truth
Elijah
I'm coming for you
Elijah
And I'm waiting for you
Elijah
It should have been you
Elijah
I know the truth
