about

Have you ever watched a loved on fall into the pit of despair? Have you ever been the one who's fallen there? We helplessly watch from outside the box. Nothing to do but hope they'll pull through because screaming and shouting won't work.

lyrics

WAKE UP ELAINE Suzanne de Bussac 2018

She drinks all day, don’t sleep at night
I think she’s on a useless plight
She’s wishing that her life would change
Without an ounce of fear or pain

She’s thinking it’s going to get better
She thinks that it’s going away
She hopes, thinks, cries, screams, shouts and prays….
To a man that she’s hoping is real
To the earth and the stars and the sun and the trees
And she prays to whomever will listen today

Wake up wake up wake up Elaine
Wake up wake up wake up Elaine

Her lover is falling to pieces
Found six empty bottles today
But she can’t say shit though her mouth is full of it
And she’s thinking it’s going to get better
And she thinks that it’s going to change
But it’s the same damn thing day after day
And she drinks Chardonnay with the moon and the stars
And she pines for the times when it wasn’t this hard
And she staggers to bed in her drunken denial

Wake up wake up wake up child
Wake up wake up wake up babe
Wake up wake up wake up Elaine
