Emily walks through the cemetery.  Passed a dog in an unmarked grave.

The old girl hobbles, nylons sagging.  Talks to her sisters in the ground

And Em-i-ly - they come and go.  The shadows   -   and the distant sounds.

But Em-i-ly - don't be afraid.  When the weight of angels weighs you down.

Emily prays to a faded hero in a little frame clutched to her gown.

Hears the voice of promise in his memory.

Tonight's the night they let the ladder down.

In a cage sits a gold canary by a wicker chair and a rosewood loom.
Am   F             G         C        Am      F          G     Am    G/B
As a soul ascends aboard the evening, Canary sings to an empty room.
