bryan dunn - the ballad of emily rose lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the neighborhood girls, they’re young and they’re pretty
in a little dive bar to the east of the city
and she whispers to me, “i think it’s a pity sometimes
’cause nothing rings true in the noise and the laughter
and those boys in the corner just reek of disaster”
she slips out the door and i follow after to go

[chorus]
and i know someday soon
i’ll find that tune
it comes and it goes
but she always knows
my emily rose

[verse 2]
now i’ve sung the songs of the saints and the sinners
and the losers who tell us that we are all winners
while scr+ping the bread off the floor for their dinners tonight
’cause n0body’s perfect and n0body’s sane
they dream about money or power or fame
but i only smile when she whispers my name in the morning

[chorus]
and she just shines so bright
in the cold, dead night
that she practically glows
my love only grows
for emily rose
[bridge]
and i was in love once
i guess i was
i was a father, a brother
a husband, a lover
but when i’m with her it’s just me
the way it should be

[vocalizing]

[chorus]
and i just wait so long
for that one good song
speeds up and it slows
with its uneven prose
for emily rose
