lyrics

Emma, that sweet refrain
You sang about Jesus, you sang about shame
I hung your letters in my window frame
Watched them curl brown, harden and fade

Emma, that sweet refrain
The creak of a porch swing, the sound of the rain
Your wide green eyes, mine turning gray
Youthful beating, like it was yesterday

Pistol shot, and a bleeding heart, rusted lock and a wasted spark
Your side of Heaven, my side of Hell, thirsty bucket in an empty well
Your morning, my midnight, your sun to my moon
But I’ll stay awake for you

Emma, that sweet refrain
I heard you got married, changed your name
I built you a chapel on Chicago Lane
We stood there for ages, shadow in shade
