Lyrics
Emily
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Woke up to find
I lost my mind,
Lost heart, lost nerve,
I lost my favourite word - Emily.
I take my cigarettes,
I give 'em a smoke,
Oh god, my heart feels froze.
I've lost something it seems,
I've misplaced my favourite thing - Emily.
(CHORUS)
Where does love go
If it can't find a home?
One moment here then gone
With no forwarding address.
Love no longer has a house
Or residence in flesh.
Take the keys,
I get in the car,
To out run this,
Man, I'd have to go real far,
Where mercy wears lace
And bottles are thieves?
Which of these took you from me, Emily?
I face myself,
But there's this draft inside,
Parts of me drowned
In perpetual tide.
I wanna call names,
I wanna throw things around,
But no bar can buy forgiveness,
Another round for Emily.
(CHORUS)
I go to the bedroom,
Turn on the light,
It's like an empty altar,
No angel in sight,
Religion with no temple,
No place to take my worship to,
No god for my eyes to see,
No fruit to lay at the feet of Emily.
Gone...
Gone...
