Emily

[Verse 1] Sleep well, Emily The noise that you make carries over to the morning And my shaky legs carry you to bed Sleep off the emptiness that cowers with dread Hold your ticket above your shoulders As the Chicago river continues to boil With your feet in the water And your head in your pillow Your body floats to sea And your eyes fill with sleep [Verse 2] Sleep well, Emily The lights up above have been beaming the shore And you’re up, up on the balcony The air don’t stand a chance against your clattering teeth And I’ve been waiting for hours As your eyes swoop dangerously low Evеn breaths from your windpipe And in the morning I lеft, I saw your light fall into mine [Refrain] We only danced behind closed doors And the kiss from your lips on my forehead, it burns And the scorching cold of that November night will be forevermore [Instrumental Break] [Refrain] We only danced behind closed doors And the kiss from your lips on my forehead, it burns And the scorching cold of that November night will be forevermore We only danced behind closed doors And the kiss from your lips on my forehead, it burns Now you can finally sleep, but what about me? 'Cause I’m tired too
