Emily

Trees all bowed down to the sun
You watch it rise, I’ll watch it come
Been waiting on your song
I’ve been singing all night long
Train bound north to my flight home
Praying sleep will find my bones
In the twilight curtain call
The darkness always draws me to you
Emily, oh Emily
Do you ever drift to sleep dreaming of what might have been?
Emily, oh Emily
The night comes rolling through, my thoughts are all you
All those years i thought i knew
something borrowed something true
Watch that road wind round the hill
In my dreams I see it still
Mountain creek still running dry
Something sparkling in your eye
There’s that star I’m wishing on
Seen it twinkling, now it’s gone again
Emily, oh Emily
Do you ever drift to sleep dreaming of what might have been?
Emily, oh Emily
The night comes rolling through, my thoughts they’re all you
Lie down let the dream pull you deeper
Lie down on the bed
How long must the sea miss the river?
How long has it been?
