For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What a dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline
Of smoky burgundy
Softer than rain
[Verse 2]
I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alleyways
As I walked on
[Verse 3]
And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields
Of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand
[Verse 4]
And when I awoke
And felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair
With my grateful tears
Oh, I love you, girl
What a dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline
Of smoky burgundy
Softer than 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 flushed 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
