Emily Said

And they won't know
There'll be no more razing ghosts

"Wake up," said Emily, "The light outside is heavenly"
She takes another picture then she cries
"Ain't this the sweetest life? No pain or human sacrifice
Just you and me and strawberry skies"

You could cry yourself to sleep
And they won't know (they won't know)
I'll be lying at your feet
With vertigo

You could cry yourself to sleep (you could cry)
And they won't know, my love
There'll be no more grinding teeth (there'll be no more)
Or razing ghosts, my love
You've seen enough

Is it her destiny to only see the best in me
And never say, "Dear, Roland, you are wrong"?
She'll light a fire tonight and we will put the world to right
Just one more Hallelujah 'til dawn

Just remember love is light
Not skin and bone (not skin and bone)
Just go easy on yourself
You're not alone

You could cry yourself to sleep (you could cry)
And they won't know, my love
There'll be no more grinding teeth (there'll be no more)
Or razing ghosts, my love
You've seen enough

Emily said, "Get out of your head
And go make some tea for the two of us (Terry and June)
I know you're sad and life is a drag
But just go and water the plants
These are things that will help your anxiety"

And they won't know
There'll be no more razing ghosts, my love
You've seen enough (Emily said)
