Emily's Song

The seasons used to crawl Like tired children towards the fall And days would last a lifetime to me then And now they seem to sprint Taking all my years with it Waiting til I've got nothing to give Well can I stay just a little bit longer? So much more of the kingdom to conquer Swear I'll make this day one for the books Skin and bones, standing in your doorway Preacher sings your name on Sunday No one can outrun the Reaper's looks And time is all he really took You run this hollow ground They lay their flowers all around Humming lullabies like I'm asleep 'Cus no one really knows Where all our empty bodies go It doesn't hurt to pretend and to dream Well can I stay just a little bit longer? So much more of the kingdom to conquer Swear I'll make this day one for the books Skin and bones, standing in your doorway Preacher sings your name on Sunday No one can outrun the Reaper's looks And time is all he really took Can I stay just a little bit longer? So much more of the kingdom to conquer Can I stay just a little bit longer? So much more of the kingdom to conquer Swear I'll make this day one for the books Skin and bones, standing in your doorway Preacher sings your name on Sunday No one can outrun the Reaper's looks And time is all he really took
