Kathleen Edwards
Pink Emerson Radio
Painted over the walls the saddest colour 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 '40s 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 neighbours are screaming at me
I can only carry one thing
I can only carry one thing

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