The Black Oak
No matter what happens to me
I cling to you and you cling to me
With lives that crash and burn out black
I can count the ways I’d never come back
And you say
I never loved you, darling
I never loved you, darling
And that’s all you can say
And that’s all you can say
Oh the black oak swaying in the breeze
I don’t know why you bleed but bleed into me
With lives that crash and burnout black
I can count the ways I’ll always come back
Ooh ooh ooh
And I say
I always loved you, darling
I always loved you, darling
And that’s all I can say
And that’s all I can say
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
