Emily Lemon

Текст песни The Sonic Dawn - Emily Lemon

Emily Lemon LyricsJack of Diamonds had a daughter like none
She was born down on highway sixty-one
Her first mother was a famous gypsy queen
Who gave her red lips and made one eye green
Because her love was rich, plenty and sweet
The name Emily Lemon could balance the sheet

I've heard what she said as a child:
"Now I can see
Inside you and me
Fear not if I fall
In no time at all
The ground will go soft if I smile"
In a game of chess with Houdini, she won
Then outran the Devil and kept moving on
She never found a reason to hold nothing in
Words of hers easily slipped under my skin
She brought the sound of the universe here
And for me she made a mountain disappear

Here's what she said, it was wild:
"Now I will choose
To loosen the noose
They put on your neck
The day when they said
That you were no longer a child"
