Emily Lyrics - The One - Elton John

The church bells ring out morning glory 

When summer bends to the winter's rage 

Emily walks through the cemetery 

Passed a dog in an unmarked grave 

The old girl hobbles, nylons sagging 

Talks to her sisters in the ground 

I saw a lie in the mirror this morning 

I hear a prophesy all around 

And Emily they come and go 

The shadows and the distant sounds 

But Emily don't be afraid 

When the weight of angels weighs you down

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 aboard the evening 

Canary sings to an empty room 

And Emily they come and go 

The shadows and the distant sounds 

But Emily don't be afraid 

When the weight of angels weighs you down 

And Emily they come and go 

The shadows and the distant sounds 

But Emily don't be afraid 

When the weight of angels weighs you down 

Emily, Emily, Emily 

Emily, Emily, Emily 

Emily, Emily, Emily 

Emily, Emily, Emily
