Madison Violet - Emily lyrics

rate me

oh you left me holding flowers

on my way with steady hand

salty water morning hours

oh these eyes had other plans

and the schools they fled the seas

when they heard my crying out

i'm ready as I'd ever be

i'm ready like the autumn falling leaves

oh emily

i feel your breath upon the shore

oh emily

it's the calm before the storm

oh you left me no good reason

but hard guessing holds the hour

long for easy summer evenings

trains to jersey

whiskey sour

and the birds they fled the skies

when they heard me crying out

i'm ready as I'd ever be

i'm ready like the kite in April breeze

oh emily

you got that look back in your eye

oh emily

it's a race against the tide

oh the ants they fled the hills

when they heard me crying out

oh emily

i got pockets full of shells

oh emily

and a hard luck song to tell

oh emily

i wish i wish you well
