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...
