Emily, Emily I can't, Emily
|
I can't leave
|
so I climb, so I climb on your
|
so I climb on your fire escape
|
in the rush of stealing what was mine
|
I stumbled on the notion of time lost
|
Emily Emily I can't, Emily
|
I can't leave
|
|
forgive me, not today
|
forgive me stay in your sleep
|
forgive me, not today
|
forgive me stay
|
in the last hours of light
|
your patient pantomime
|
heals the stories that I tell
|
to myself/and no one else
|
no whisper on my mind
|
no tired arms that bind
|
can steal you away/from me this time
|
|
Emily, Emily I can't, Emily
|
I can't leave
|
so I ride, so I ride on your
|
so I ride/on you hobby horse
|
|
find this a better way
|
with brides dressed in white
|
with dreams of starting over right
|
a kindred soul I'm leaving
|
a past that I must fight
|
discover my freedoms/up in lights
|
the kiss that is America
|
the babes dressed in blue
|
my wish of starting over/lies with you
|
