Emily



   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
   

   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

  
   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 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
