The church bells ring out morning glory

When summer bends to the winter's rage

Emily walks through the cemetery

Am F G C F C

Passed a dog in an unmarked grave

C F G C

The old girl hobbles, nylons sagging

F G C

Talks to her sisters in the ground

Am F G C

I saw a lie in the mirror this morning

Am F G Am G/B

I heard a prophesy all around

F/C C Fm/C

And Emily they come and go

C#/G# D#/A# F6

The shadows and the distant sounds

F/C C Fm/C

But Emily don't be afraid

C#/G# D#/A# F6

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
