Sweet Emily

Flashes in the dark
Teapot screaming out
You hide behind your door
Bracing for the storm on Harrowby
It seems you can't escape
Your time is running late
There's so much left to do sweet Emily
You need to go outside and tend to your English garden
You better hurry now

You watch the evening rain through the window pane
You try to reach out, yet all you do is hide
One day you'll find love among the marigold
You'll find a single rose and hold it to your heart

Watching in the dark
Memories of a child
Just sitting all alone
Sunday movies on Granby Street
Is nothing ever real
Oh can you trust this world
Tell us what you've learned Sweet Emily
You want to stay inside so safe behind your curtain

Do you see anything, anything at all
We hear your voice love, but there's nothing in the dark
But empty shadows that turn away
They turn away and in your heart there's nothing left to say
Sweet Emily

Sweet Emily, you need to go outside and tend to your English garden
