Lyrics

Emily

There I was, I thought I'd get to sleep

I reckoned without her

She is the thought that only lives as long as me

She isn't seen, she isn't heard

But I can summon her in words

Or memories

Of Emily...

Of Emily...

Who knows if there's any left of you

Than a line between a date, and a date

And who knows when the night is coming through

What the night will take?

Tonight I was awake

For long enough to make

Out a threnody

For Emily

Oh Emily...

Emily...

Emily...
