Emily Lemon

歌詞

Jack 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"
