lyrics

Bright green eyes
Two teeth missing in his smile
Always wears, his orange globes
And his long and warm brown coat
Music makes with a bucket, stick and rope
While a cigarette he smokes
Close your eyes and you will hear a funny contrabass
Than when he plays, stops people in the streets
Who put some coins in the case at his feet
And who take photographs and videos
With their cameras and phones.

Dear Elliott, wherever you go
Please know, you can always go back home.

Il parle francais trois bien mesier
Par-ce que he grew up there
But he runaway from France with his bucket and his bike
‘i want to be free’ he says, dont belong to anything
Hit the road, travel the world, just be myself and me.

Dear Elliott, wherever you go
Please know, you can always go back home.

//If in all this runaway you lose your way, I hope
That you can hear this song someday, so I can remind you again//

Dear Elliott, wherever you go
Please know, you can always go back home.
