Emily

Words and music: j. stacy



I had a dream i could leave you behind

Looking back over my cold shoulder

Little girl stepping down to the river

You call for me but i do not answer



In a daze i was walking away

Losing memories of love and laughter

I was fading into the darkness

It was me, but there was no likeness



Emily, emily...

Emily, emily... it was just a bad dream... just a bad dream...



I had a dream i was going away

Looking back i could see you dreaming too

Sleep-walking down by the river

I called your name but you did not answer me...

And i did not answer you...

You did not answer me¡­

And i did not answer you...

Emily, emily...



I woke up in the middle of the night

I took you in my arms and held you tightly

You were cold and shivering all over

I woke you up baby what's the matter...



You were trapped in a terrible dream

You were drowning in ice cold water

I was gone, i was far away

But you could hear me calling out your name¡­



Emily, emily, emily...

Emily, emily... it was just a bad dream... just a bad dream...



You had a dream i was going away

Looking up you could see me dreaming too

Sleep-walking down by the river

You called my name but i did not answer you

And you did not answer me

I did not answer you

And you did not answer me...

Emily, emily...



Emily, emily, emily¡­¡­
