lyrics

Amelie, Amelie, tell me who you want to be
I would sail the seven seas to find the girl of which you speak
Amelie, Amelie, will she be the one for me?
Oh tell me darling, tell me, Amelie, Amelie, Amelie

Amelie works at the local stop
You should hear the things she says and you should hear her thoughts
The slacker kids with slashed up wrists come in to buy their cigarettes
But they're not even noticed by my darling, Amelie

Amelie, Amelie, tell me who you want to be
I would sail the seven seas to find the girl of which you speak
Amelie, Amelie, will she be the one for me?
Oh tell me darling, tell me, Amelie, Amelie, Amelie

Amelie reads from the book of Job
Thinks that through all her unluckiness she will find hope
A testament to test her wit and patience through the thick of it
The Bible's got its Mary but it's void of Amelie

Amelie, Amelie, tell me who you want to be
I would sail the seven seas to find the girl of which you speak
Amelie, Amelie, will she be the one for me?
Oh tell me darling, tell me, Amelie, Amelie, Amelie

Amelie sits on her old front porch
With her AM radio set on the news reports
It's very grim just listening to numbers and statistics in
The very time that she's alive and I will cry when she has died
But right now I just know her by "my darling, Amelie"

Amelie, Amelie, tell me who you want to be
I would sail the seven seas to find the girl of which you speak
Amelie, Amelie, will she be the one for me?
Oh tell me darling, tell me, Amelie, Amelie, Amelie
