Pink Emerson Radio


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

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 40's wardrobe
Pink Emerson radio
Old lace dress I bought in the store
Motorcycle boots on the floor

There's no time to waste
There's no time to wait

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



Kathleen 6 & 12 acoustic guitars, vibes

Comment
'Pink Emerson Radio' examines her own relocation to Toronto as well as recalling a long-ago escape from an apartment fire. "I just instinctively grabbed my violin and my guitar. Those situations test you; they force you to define what matters in your life." [rounder.com]
