Emily's Pine

That's where we used to go

Come rain or shine or even snow

Even in snow

She shared her secrets there

She shed her clothes and skin and hair

Her beautiful hair

That's when I made her mine

I carved our names in Emily's pine

Emily's spine

That's where we'd spend our days

And that's where my lovely lady plays

Come share the shade with me

Come find some peace beneath the tree

Our evergreen tree

And that's when I made her mine

I carved our names in Emily's pine

Emily's spine

Somewhere a radio played

A quiet mournful serenade

She didn't make a sound

And so I lay my true love down

There on the ground

But when our song was done

My only precious thing was gone

Baby be gone

Goodbye baby, I'm never coming back

Burnt all the evidence and covered up my tracks

Goodbye baby, I'm never coming back

Burnt all the evidence and covered up my tracks
