Lyrics

EMILY / © 1972 Todd Bradshaw
From the Left In The Wake CD

Emily used to live
In a home by the sea with the ocean and me as her friends
Emily used to give me
The world on a string, she could do anything you’d pretend

I tried to tell her not to be so bold
Leave the sea and you may die or just grow old

Emily left one day
In a car with a man and a ring on her hand as a bride
Emily’s run away
From the moon and the stars to a man in a car, has she died?

Feel her walking in the early light
Hear her singing in the night when the ocean cries

Feel her walking in the early light
Hear her singing in the night when the ocean cries

Emily’s hypnotized
By a world full of strangers trying to make her grow old
Hardly a day goes by
Without thinking about her, living without her on the road

I tried to tell her not to be so bold
Leave the sea and you may die or just grow old

Can’t you see her when you close your eyes?
Can’t you hear her in the night when the city dies?

Emily used to live
In a home by the sea with the ocean and me as her friends
