Lyrics
Doorbell rings me out of bed
Emily?s eyes are much too red.
Hides her lip, but she can?t hide her pain.
Stays here just a night or two,
Drifts on out to somewhere new.
I don?t know when she?ll be back again.
Where is Emily?
Where?s she laying her head tonight?
Where is Emily?
Lord, I?m praying she?s all right
Barely turning seventeen,
Living on the in between,
In places she can never call her home.
Backpack bursting at the seams,
Too small to hold so many dreams.
I pray those pretty eyes don?t turn to stone.
(chorus)
Oh, sweet Emily,
Your world is such a mystery,
But holding on to secrets breaks your heart.
They sneak up fast and kill you slow,
But you don?t have to walk alone.
All I do is wonder where you are...
(chorus)
