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

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