"Emily's Pine" lyrics

"Emily's Pine"

That's where we used to go
Come rain or shine or even snow
Even in snow
She shared her secrets there
She shed her clothes and skin and hair
Her beautiful hair
That's when I made her mine
I carved our names in Emily's pine
Emily's spine

That's where we'd spend our days
And that's where my lovely lady plays
Come share the shade with me
Come find some peace beneath the tree
Our evergreen tree
And that's when I made her mine
I carved our names in Emily's pine
Emily's spine

(Okay now, let's go)

Somewhere a radio played
A quiet mournful serenade
She didn't make a sound
And so I lay my true love down
There on the ground
But when our song was done
My only precious thing was gone
Baby be gone

(One last time, boys)

Goodbye baby
I'm never coming back
Burnt all the evidence
And covered up my tracks

Goodbye baby
I'm never coming back
Burnt all the evidence
And covered up my tracks
