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

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