Visions of Emma-Rose

Where are you now sweet Emma-Rose?
I can’t see for fog I can’t feel my toes
Light of my life, light of my life
Light of my life, Light of my life
But it’s all over now
It’s all over now isn’t it babe
Isn’t it babe

Heaven fell straight from your palms
Heaven fell and you remained calm
Remember the days the limestone and dust
Gold crimson sheaves, her Arabian bust
Sweet Emma-Rose

Half drunken shots of wisdom to chase
The sorrow you find that withers away
Bird on the crest, the beads on her dress
The crown in her hair, her “dead to me” stare
Sweet Emma-rose

Where are you now sweet Emma-Rose
I feel I’m fixing to die but that’s how it goes
Light of my life, light of my life
Light of my life, Light of my life
But it’s all over now
It’s all over now isn’t it babe?
Isn’t it babe

How long must I wait for you?
With all I have saved what good will it do?
Oh I can see her corsage in red
Her white satin sheets on her big brass bed
Sweet Emma-Rose

Darkness falls down on the shores
Beauty seeps out every pore
From Hollywood hill to the banks of the sea
I wonder if she, ever thinks about me
Sweet Emma-Rose

Where are you now sweet Emma-Rose?
I can’t feel my fingers I can’t feel my toes
Light of my life, light of my life
Light of my life, Light of my life
But it’s all over now
It’s al over now
Isn’t it babe?
