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

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