The church bells ring out morning glory

When summer bends to the winter's rage

Emily walks through the cemetery

Passed a dog in an unmarked grave

The old girl hobbles, nylons sagging
FF G+G C majorC
Talks to her sisters in the ground
A minorAm FF G+G C majorC
I saw a lie in the mirror this morning
A minorAm FF G+G A minorAm G/BG/B
I heard a prophesy all around
FF C majorC Fm/C
And Emily they come and go
C#/Ab Eb MajorEb F6F6
The shadows and the distant sounds
FF C majorC Fm/C
But Emily don't be afraid
C#/Ab Eb MajorEb F6F6
When the weight of angels weighs you down
Emily prays to a faded hero
In a little frame clutched to her gown
Hears the voice of promise in his memory
Tonight's the night they let the ladder down
In a cage sits a gold canary
By a wicker chair and a rosewood loom
As a soul ascends abord the evening
Canary sings to an empty room
