Verse
A D A
Mona's buying milk and honey from the summer bins in Milford Market.
A F#m
Outside the door at six, the green bulb clicks,
D
On.
A D A
I work nine to five around the hiss of the ice box compartment,
F#m Bmaj D A
When I punch out I want to set the night to bitter flames a-lickin'
F#m Bmaj D A
The town and all the passion strickened down.
[CHORUS]
D A E Bm
And Emmy's twenty years removed now, from that morning in July,
D A
When her father held her in his arms.
D A E Bm
And dipped her freckled neck down' 'neath the river water as flies,
D B
Were darkening the brightness
D B
And all of the baptismal whiteness
D B
But darlin' all those of our likeness
D
Were born so very ready to live.
A
And to die.
[VERSE]
A
I know my way through the neighborhoods
D A
From Mona's house to the interstate.
A F#m D
I know my way to the greatest things we got
A
The travelin' acts they leave their sounds
D A
For railroad tracks in other towns,
F# Bmaj
But I want to hold to something longer
D A
Something meaner, something stronger
F# Bmaj D A
At eleven thirty the town's alone, again.
[CHORUS]
D A
And Emmy used to say she loved me,
E Bm
Used to be oh so proud of me,
D A
When she saw her father in my eyes.
D A E Bm
When I dipped her golden head down 'neath the river water swimmin',
D B
The pine shine all was dimmin'
D B
The kitchen panes were pitch-dark within
D B
And I thought we were only kidding till
D
Your father cried.

[VERSE]
A D A
Mona, you're my only friend, we could take the interstate;
A F# D
Though you know the interstate deadends.
A
Will it lead us to the milk and honey,
D A
Is the Promised Land just a funny
F# Bmaj D A
Way to say the strangeness never ceases?
F# Bmaj D A
'Cause Emmy, you have baptized me to pieces.
