Let's Elope
Koop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's elope today
Or find a secret hideaway
Somewhere's here to stay
Leaves will fall on another day
Another day
We can go where the cops won’t show
For this land we pray
Leaves will fall on another day
Youth is gone now
I hear you say
But it doesn't matter anyway
I'll cook the dinners
If you bring the wine
Youth has gone
Never rich, still shy
Let's elope today
Or find a secret hideaway
Somewhere's here to stay
Leaves will fall on another day
Youth has gone now
I hear you say
But it doesn't matter anyway
I'll cook the dinners
If you bring the wine
Youth has gone now
Never rich, still shy
Let's elope today
