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

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