Judy Collins - Elena
[Intro]
Dm  C  G  Dm    C  G  Dm
[Verse 1]
         C          G       Dm
Elena is working on Lorimer Street
              C              G          Dm
Directing the traffic in the sweltering heat
    F                 C          F         A7
She winds through the motions, a tape on repeat
      Dm          C          G           Dm   C  G  Dm
She's there until moonlight, making ends meet
[Verse 2]
            C        G              Dm
Two kids in school, another dropped out
             C         G          Dm
All drawn to darkness, futures in doubt
F            C          F           A7
Mama's heart beating on their whereabouts
    Dm               C            G         Dm       D7
And how they'll find water in the merciless drought
[Chorus]
                 Gm    C
And she prays to you
               F       Bb
Your boundless light
                    A7                  Dm      D7
That one day you'll come to make things right
                    Gm             C
Sprinkling skies of falling stars
                    F        Bb
Where she dreams of flying
                   A7
Another day's gone by
[Verse 3]
Dm      C         G         Dm
Quietly humming a spiritual song
                 C      G           Dm
The lilt of each melody keeping her strong
      F              C         F            A7
Where all dreams are possible, all doubt is gone
Dm               C            G         Dm       D7
Where instead of darkness she sees only dawn
[Chorus]
                  Gm    C
And she prays for you
             F       Bb
Every waking night
             A7           Dm     D7
To dance the breezes as a kite
                    Gm              C
The endless seas surround her now
                F     Bb
And she drifts away
                  A7
How she'd love to stay
[Verse 4]
 Dm      C          G       Dm
Elena is working on Lorimer Street
               C          G          Dm
The pavement beneath her abusing her feet
    F                 C          F         A7
She winds through the motions, a tape on repeat
      Dm          C          G           Dm
She's there until moonlight, making ends meet
    F                 C          F         A7
She winds through the motions, a tape on repeat
      Dm          C          G           Dm   C  G   Dm
She's there until moonlight, making ends meet
