"Ellie" lyrics

Ellie could light up a room
A laugh like summer, gone too soon
She'd dance barefoot in the pouring rain
But not anymore

They found her car by the old dirt track
But no footprints leading forward or back
The whispers grow louder, the stories don't fit
Cause no one knows

Ellie, where did you go? Tell us, what happened
The wind carries your name, but it won't let us know
We'll keep on looking through the pain and despair
Cause Ellie, you are loved, we'll find you somewhere

She loved the river at the edge of town
But now the water feels dark and brown
Her mothers's been crying for weeks on end
Her father's to

I hear her voice in the rustling leaves
But there's no answer, just the aching breeze
The stars keep watch, but they won't reveal
What's true, what's fake, what's real?

Ellie, where did you go? Tell us, what happened
The wind carries your name, but it won't let us know
We'll keep on looking through the pain and despair
Cause Ellie, you are loved, we'll find you somewhere

Was it someone she trusted, an unknown friend that went wrong?
Was the world too heavy, her will to fight was not strong enough?

Ellie, where did you go? Tell us, what happened
The wind carries your name, but it won't let us know
We'll keep on looking through the pain and despair
Cause Ellie, you are loved, we'll find you somewhere

Ellie, where did you go? Tell us, what happened
The wind carries your name, but it won't let us know
We'll keep on looking through the pain and despair
Cause Ellie, you are loved, we'll find you somewhere
