Madison Violet - Emily lyrics

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
