The State Machine - Shadows of Ellis Island Lyrics

Walkin' through the hallways
Ashes on the ground
And cigaret smoke
And travling down the highways
You can see all of the folks
The state machine broke
And I don't always want it my way
But honey, this mirror
Ain't big enough for two
But does it matter either way
Cause in the end my love
Wasn't good enough for you

Well
I never wanna let you go
I only wanna hold you close
Oh don't go
And leave me all alone
In fear and desperation, baby
If
You ever really felt the same
Then you'd know my love ain't just a game
Oh don't go
And leave me all alone
Beneath the rock of Ellis Island

Oh of Ellis Island
Beneath the rocks of Ellis Island

Night clubs in San Antonio
Those Vegas lights
Were never bright enough for me
Buscando mis viejos hermanos
While we smell the fresh money
'Mongst the greenery
Well I never learnt to fight though
I'm certain this town
Has got a pub or two
But if I have to go it solo
Then babe,
These are the last breaths I'm wasting on you

Well
I never wanna let you go
I only wanna hold you close
Oh don't go
And leave me all alone
In fear and desperation, baby
If
You ever really felt the same
Then you'd know my love ain't just a game
Oh don't go
And leave me all alone
Beneath the rocks of Ellis Island

Let the light shine on me
Let the light shine on me
Let the light shine on me
Let the light shine on me

Please
Don't let me go
Just hold
Me

Well
I never wanna let you go
I only wanna hold you close
Oh don't go
And leave me all alone
In fear and desperation, baby
If
You ever really felt the same
Then you'd know my love ain't just a game
Pleas stay

Well
I never wanna let you go
Oh baby let me go
I only wanna hold you close
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Hold me tight or don't
If
You ever really felt the same
Felt the same
Felt the same
Oh don't go
And leave me all alone
Beneath the rocks of Ellis Island
