Dusk over Manhattan
Watch the sun go down
See her in the twilight
Night falls all around

She waits before sunset
Greets us as we rise
Her hair dark as midnight
Bright as stars, her eyes

Way high on the tower
Dawn's coming soon
Oh, dear Elisa
Fairer than the moon

Bright lights, streets of pavement,
Glass and steel of grey
By night guard the city
She guards us by day

Follow in the moonlight
To the wide world's end
In this time of madness
She is our only friend

Way high on the tower
Dawn's coming soon
Oh, dear Elisa
Fairer than the moon

My home is in her sky
My heart is in her hands
Somehow I must find a way to tell her
Tell her
Tell her...

My love, my Elisa
Dark and fair and bright
Though she is no angel
She is of the night

Back to the Gargoyles filk
Back to Toontown
