I was coming apart those days
I don't give a damn about the way
Colors on the trees change from red to green
It's a dead city Emily
Oh I was a-blaze, still I had to stay
With that bad Emily

Oh I saw the light today
Opened up the door
Any other man would've run run away
Em was stuck inside the moor
Any other man would've run run away
Emily is something more

I was coming apart those days
I don't give a damn about the way
Birds fly in the breeze, things you say to me
It's a dead city Emily
I cannot recall loving this at all
It's a dead city in between

Oh I saw the light today
Opened up the door
Any other man would've run run away
Em was stuck inside the war
Oh it looks so bright today
Opened up the door
Any other man would've run run away
Emily is something more
Any other man would've run run away
From the house and to the shore

Dead city Emily
Dead city Emily
Dead city Emily
Dead city Emily
