lyrics

And towards the end, couldn’t catch my breath
I'd catch myself looking backwards
Back before the diagnosis
Before we ran out of answers
We'd stage our Sundays in defiance of Mondays
Day drinking with all our friends
Sometimes I'd sit and think about you
Simply wearing a sun dress

And there were blasts of belly laughs
What I wouldn't give to have all that back

Don't worry, Em, nothing truly goes missing, no one's ever gone
When you die the bonfires keep burning
They burn on both horizons like a never-ending dawn

Don't worry, Em, our whole lives we got it all wrong:
There’s no beginning or end
When you die they put you on a white horse
That you ride eternal out on the Navajo wind …. Don't worry, Em

And there were blasts of belly laughs
What I wouldn't give to have all that back

Don't worry, Em, nothing truly goes missing, no one's ever gone
When you die the bonfires keep burning
They burn on both horizons like a never-ending dawn

Don't worry, Em, our whole lives we got it all wrong:
There’s no beginning or end
When you die they put you on a white horse
That you ride eternal out on the Navajo wind … Don't worry, Em

You and I, we'll glide through this glittering world together, fully entwined
You see, Em, we live on forever in the hearts of the ones we've left behind
