I Lay to Rest (California)
It’s only California,
It’s only California,
Oh I lay to rest
Oh now, money maker
The hands of the devil’s sister,
Oh they laid me down
There must be a way out,
There must be a way out,
There’s a ghost inside of you
And I can see it peering through
Oh I lay, oh under
The oak tree in the dead of winter
Oh I lay to rest
A winged boy fell from the tree
And oh he landed right next to me
The devil’s fruit inside of me
And how my wings lay so dormantly
You were a body
You were a ghost
Now you are nothing
The dark it up and rose
And toward the light it took you
And melted your wings
Cause you were a body
And now you are nothing
I touched, oh his feathers
Cow hide, hands of leather
Oh you are a man
Oh wax wings they wouldn’t stay and so our love melted away,
Toward the sun so right and fair
And then I saw you drop in mid air

This is a totally mesmerizing album. It;s really special, and feels like a beautiful melancholic painting (if that makes any sense). Amongst singer-songwriters, very few have such a distinctive style of there own. richardschouten

I can't say enough about this singer/songwriter. This older LP is totally immersive from first track to last, with Emily's voice at a mesmerizing front and center. I didn't pick a fav track bc it's too hard. They're all great. Eric Van Lustbader
