Jewel - Emily

Lyrics :
Woke up to find I lost my mind
Lost heart, lost nerve, I lost my favorite word, Emily
I take my cigarettes, I give 'em a smoke
Oh god, my heart feels froze
I've lost something it seems
I've misplaced my favorite thing, Emily

Where does love go if it can't find a home
One moment here then gone with no forwarding address
Love no longer has a house or residence in flesh

I take the keys, I get in the car
To outrun this, man, I'd have to go real far
Where mercy wears lace and bottles are thieves
Which of these took you from me, Emily?
I face myself but there's a draft inside
Parts of me drowned in perpetual tide
I want to call names, I want to throw things around
But no bar can buy forgiveness, another round for Emily

Where does love go if it can't find a home
One moment here then gone with no forwarding address
Love no longer has a house or residence in flesh

I go in the bedroom, turn on the light
It's like an empty altar, no angel in sight
Religion with no temple, no place to take my worship to
No God for my eyes to see, no fruit to lay at the feet of Emily.
Gone
Gone

Is this song actually about someone called Emily or not? Just wondering lol

[remase73]

You know what .. I have no idea!! Have been wondering the same thing!

[hotelangel]

It was a song that Jewel wrote for the movie "the Crossing Guard", where a little girl named Emily was killed by a drunk driver.

[remase73]

@MusicIsMe16x I actually wondered if it was about a miscarriage. Seems so very personal to her and yet I never want to know exactly the meaning behind it, I love how all of her songs speak to and through me.

I saw "The Crossing Guard" this morning.

The acting was brilliant and I loved the soundtrack which included Jewel and Bruce Springsteen.

My name is Emily and my ex husband played this song for me when we split up the first time but we got back together then split up for good.

My name is Emily LOL

I, too, identify with this song, after I lost custody of my 3 year old daughter. God was looking after us all - my sister won custody, so I never really LOST anything, and GAINED sobriety. The Lord works in mysterious ways, indeed.
