Emily


Woke up to find
I've lost my mind
Lost heart
Lost nerve
I lost my favorite word
Emily

I take my cigarettes
I give 'em a smoke
Oh, God, my heart feels froze
I've lost something, it seems
I misplaces my favorite thing
Emily

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

I take my keys
I get in the car
To outrun this man, I'd have to go real far
My mercy wears lace
And bottles of thieves
Which of these took you from me?
Emily

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

I go in the bedroom
Turn on the light
It's like an empty altar
No angel in sight
A 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
