Emily

(album: How Still The River - 2020)

Oh it's late in the morning and I lay between the sheets
There's a hole in my bed where your body used to be
The hardest thing I'd ever had to know
Was to watch you go, just to watch you go

I pictured you beside me you were there in every sound
I thought about you then and I still think about you now
The hardest thing I'd ever had to know
Was to watch you go, just to watch you go

Emily it's late but that's okay, I'll wait for you
Right here on this wooden bench, I'll stay still in love with you
Emily, woah, ooh, whoa, whoa, oh, Emily

I remember when we prospered, I remember when we failed
We talked about our future, never thought it would entail
The hardest thing I'd ever had to know
Just to watch you go, just to watch you go

I traveled through the old town where we both got our names
Our faded scratched initials on the oak tree still remain
I walked around but it don't feel the same
Since I watched you go, oh I watched you go

Emily it's late but that's okay, I'll wait for you
Right here on this wooden bench, I'll stay still in love with you
Emily, woah, ooh, whoa, whoa, oh, Emily

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la Wish that you had stayed
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la Oh Emily
Oh, oh

Emily it's late but that's okay, I'll wait for you
Right here on this wooden bench, I'll stay still in love with you
Emily, woah, ooh, whoa, whoa, oh, Emily
