For emily, whenever i may find her

For emily, whenever i may find her Lyrics

What a dream I had

Pressed in organdy

Clothed in crinoline

Of smoky burgundy

Softer than the rain


I wandered empty streets down

Past the shop displays

I heard cathedral bells

Tripping down the alleyways

As I walked on


And when you ran to me, your

Cheeks fleshed with the night

We walked on frosted fields

Of juniper and lamplight

I held your hand


And when I awoke

And felt you warm and near

I kissed your honey hair

With my grateful tears

Oh, I love you girl

Oh, I love you
