"grey like Emmylou" lyrics

You never said you needed space
But you sure knew how to take it
I haven't seen your name
Light up my phone in ages

They say some friendships are evergreen
And some just come in seasons
Ours ended like fall when it's out of leaves
I might never know the reason

I hope you go grey like Emmylou
The years falling soft around your shoulders
I hope you get bay windows facing the moon
And Oscar Wilde stitched on your potholders
And I hope your life unfolds like zinnias in bloom
And you go grey like Emmylou

I kept rose tea in the drawer for a while
But no one else drinks it
The date on the box says expired
The truth about us, it sinks in

They say some friendships are anchored in
And some, the tide will bring back
Some drift off, never seen again
I guess ours was kinda like that

I hope you go grey like Emmylou
The years falling soft around your shoulders
I hope you get bay windows facing the moon
And Oscar Wilde stitched on your potholders
And I hope your life unfolds like zinnias in bloom
And you go grey like Emmylou

Oh, I hope you go grey like Emmylou
Like all the things we said we'd have once we're older
I hope you get bay windows facing the moon
And Oscar Wilde stitched on your potholders
And I hope your life unfolds like zinnias in bloom
And that someday, you go grey like Emmylou
