That's where we used to go.
Come rain or shine or even snow.
Even in snow.
She shed 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 lays.
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.
Lady be gone.
(One last time, boys!)
Goodbye baby, I'm never coming back.
I've burnt all the evidence and covered up my tracks.
Goodbye baby, I'm never coming back.
I've burnt all the evidence and covered up my tracks....
