Pink Emerson Radio
KATHLEEN MARGARET EDWARDS
Painted over the walls,
The saddest color of blue.
Posters covered in glass.
Favorite curbside grab.
Red Valentine's card,
Stuck on the mirror to keep.
Record player made of tubes,
Spinning Tommy by The Who.
(Chorus)
There's no time to waste.
There's no time to wait.
Keys on the hook by the door,
For the truck sold years ago.
Standing guitars in the case,
Filling up closet space.
Vintage forties wardrobe.
Pink Emerson radio.
Old lace dress I bought in the store.
Motorcycle boots on the floor.
(Chorus)
Sirens up on the street,
Smoke is burning my eyes.
And the neighbors are screaming at me,
I can only carry one thing.
I can only carry one thing.
(Chorus)
