Counting Sheep
(lyrics by Nick Craine)
Emily lives next door
at 13 years old her shirt is torn
the dog on the porch is asleep
The scent of a man carries on through the sheets
She packs up her bags, hides the key
And hitches a ride to Sudbury
Waits tables from 9 to 3
Heads back to her room at the Royal Eddie
counting sheep
counting sheep
Tuesday calls for rain
An indoor wedding, the church was plain
her two children play house on the floor
she's never been in love before
counting sheep
counting sheep
Emily lives next door
at 13 years old her shirt is torn
the dog on the porch is asleep
her father gets up and begins to weep
and the radio played a tune
song sung blue
recorded live to DAT, the first song from our first time in the
studio, January 1994.
Previously released on a 7" with Minnow.
