[Verse 1]
         C          G       Dm
Elena is working on Lorimer Street
              C             
Directing the traffic in the 
 G          Dm
sweltering heat
    F                 C          
She winds through the motions, a 
F         A7
tape on repeat
      Dm          C          G   
She's there until moonlight, 
        Dm   C  G  Dm
making ends meet


[Verse 2]
            C        G            
Two kids in school, another 
  Dm
dropped out
             C         G          
All drawn to darkness, futures in 
Dm
doubt
F            C          F 
Mama's heart beating on their 
          A7
whereabouts
    Dm               C            
And how they'll find water in the 
G         Dm       D7
merciless drought


[Chorus]
                 Gm    C
And she prays to you
Continúa después del anuncio
               F       Bb
Your boundless light
                    A7          
That one day you'll come to make 
        Dm      D7
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         
The lilt of each melody keeping 
  Dm
her strong
      F              C         F 
Where all dreams are possible, 
           A7
all doubt is gone
Dm               C            G 
Where instead of darkness she 
        Dm       D7
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             
The endless seas surround her now
 C

                F     Bb
And she drifts away
                  A7
How she'd love to stay


[Verse 4]

Elena is working on Lorimer Street
               C          G       
The pavement beneath her abusing 
   Dm
her feet
    F                 C          
She winds through the motions, a 
F         A7
tape on repeat
      Dm          C          G   
She's there until moonlight, 
        Dm
making ends meet
    F                 C          
She winds through the motions, a 
F         A7
tape on repeat
      Dm          C          G   
She's there until moonlight, 
        Dm   C  G   Dm
making ends meet
