Emily - Jewel

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
