Emily Hurd: SONGS

It’s windy in Chicago, and the ghosts are out tonight
But I’m not opposed to spirits, so I go in for some wine
The bar looks like an island made of light and smoke
And you’re eying me so silently and smiling cuz you know

I wanna wade into your mind
And float away all through the night
And then, I wanna wake up by your side
And wade again

The man that sits behind me is high upon his pain
And the woman right behind me likes to hide behind her name
And Donny dons his history just like a gaudy glove
And you, you’re still a mystery, but you’re longin to be loved

Ryan’s buyin glory by lyin through his teeth
But his cryin sells his story well, so I try to believe
And you are pourin heavy, some heady kinda brew
And though I am unsteady, I am ready now for you

Well, I ain’t got a penny, but Benny foots my bill
And many now have emptied out, and we are standin still
You move like a movie, and I’m viewin frame by frame
And you’re doin somethin to me, and I’d like to do the same

I’m gonna wait for you outside
I’m gonna take you for a ride
Then I’m gonna stay with you tonight
And wade again
