Emaline Lyrics

Be still now, babe

Lay your head back down

The whole town's asleep now

And the traffic's thinning out

There's nothing on that screen

Nothing real anyway

Just talk and news

And we all know that news these days

Everybody's doing the killing

Everybody's doing the dying

Sleep now, Emaline

The world will need your smile come the morning

More than all their money and their wine

There's evil all around

It's easy to see

Cause it shows itself in doses

All along these streets

People fall about

Clothed in their sin

And they'll tell you things

To make you think you're just like them

But don't believe them, baby

Daddy's heard it all his life

Sleep now, Emaline

You know the world will need your dignity come morning

More than all their deities and shrines

Everybody's doing the killing

Everybody's doing the dying

Sleep now, Emaline

The world will need your eyes come the morning light

More than they've ever needed mine

Sleep now
