Dear Emmy | They Called Him Cavalry - Track 33

They Called Him Cavalry - Act III: Collapse Track 33 - Sgt. George McGraw “Dear Emmy” [Verse 1] Emmy, I'm writing from a cot In a place I won't describe. The army's finished with my leg. They say I'll do fine. Don't clear a room. Don't set a place. I'm going west. That's all I know. [Pre-Chorus] You'll want to know That I'm alright. I'm writing, so I am. That's the most I can say honestly. [Chorus] I'm going west because I'm going. Not because it's where I'm meant. Some roads don't ask for reasons. They just go. [Verse 2] There's something else. Jesse Dunning's gone. His town burned down. His mother was still there. His brother, Cole— He was seven when Jesse left. I know because Jesse told me. He told me a lot of things. [Pre-Chorus] The regiment called him Cavalry. You've read that name before In every letter I ever sent you— Whether I used it or not. [Chorus] Don't ask me what he was. You already know. You've read between my lines Before I knew there were lines to read. He's gone, Emmy. He was— He was— I'm going west. [Bridge] There's a letter in my coat pocket. One part I can't read anymore. "Lord it's good—" I skip it. [Final Chorus] Don't write me back with comfort. I won't know what to do with that. Just know I'm going. However long it takes. However much of me is left. [Outro] Please don't come out looking— I don't want to be found. I'll write again, Eventually. ----- They Called Him Cavalry was made with the use of AI for the instrumental and vocal elements.
