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
