Marissa Nadler - Dead City Emily lyrics

rate me

I was coming apart those days

I don’t give a damn about the way

Colors on the trees change from red to green

It’s a dead city, Emily

But it was a blaze, still, I had to stay

With that band, Emily

I saw the light today

Opened up the door

And the other man would run, run away

And we’re stuck inside the moon

And the other man would run, run away

And we’ll need something more

I was coming apart those days

I don’t give a damn about the way

Birds fly in the breeze, things you say to me

It’s a dead city, Emily

I cannot recall leaving, we said all

It’s a dead city in between

I saw the light today

Opened up the door

And the other man would run, run away

And we’re stuck inside the wall

Oh, it looked so bright today

Opened up the door

And the other man would run, run away

And leave something more

And the other man would run, run away

From the house and to the shore

Dead city, Emily

Dead city, Emily

Dead city, Emily

Dead city, Emily
