The Waterboys
The Elegant Companion
That elegant companion of mine
That woman of the rain
Holding me as I sleep
On the Yokohama train
Tracing the straight road to my heart
In seven-eight time
That elegant companion of mine

She commands the weather
Invokes a storm in an old land
And smiles amid the wreckage
That smile could stop a war
Or start one
How she shines
That elegant companion of mine

In the no guitar hotel
In her dress with the bow
When I'm ready to explode
She puts her arms around me
Says Darling I'm so happy you found me
She soothes my rage with a voice so kind
That elegant companion of mine
That elegant companion of mine
