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

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