The State Vs. Thomas Light

Emily, the crowd has gathered here But it is not because of you Emily, the taste of blood in their mouths I can't imagine what they'll do But it doesn't matter what they'll do to me Emily, have they forgotten you When they set their sights on me? They will hang me from the rope tonight Will you be waiting there for me? Will our souls remember where we said we'd meet On the way out of this town? I'm leaving one way or the other, Emily There's nothing left here for me now Emily, it's so quiet now It's like the calm before a storm They will punish me for what he did to you But either way it's all my fault 'Cause I made the man who laid his hands on you And I would tear him down, but I feel like a dead man What can a dead man do? (This is not your fault!) I'm leaving one way or the other, Emily (This is not your fault!) There's nothing left here for me now! Here comes the blow We find the only man who loved her... We find the only man who'd give his life To see her once again... We find this man... (Not guilty!) Guilty! I am guilty! I am guilty!
