Emily

Raindrops slopping her window
The model's girl in her face
Her world is cracked Craziness has taken its place
Emily's now landing offshore
Leaving her suitcase behind
Celebrating the fact
She's losing track of time

She's like the wilderness
Wrapped around the edges
Filled with tenderness
Like a lazy river drifting
On a summer's day

With giant dreams living like daffodils in a fog
The fire in her mind burns she's adding another log

Emily's halfway down
To waking up the dawn
Her compass guides her
Past the guilt trip she's on
She's like the wilderness
Wrapped around the edges
Filled with tenderness
Like a lazy river drifting
On a summer's day

Holding sacred anxiety
Playing musical chairs
By herself where fantasy
Collapsed in urban stairs
Emily helping her work
Like a curious bird
Soaring like a warrior
Until her past is conquered

She's like the wilderness
Wrapped around the edges
Filled with tenderness
Like a lazy river drifting
On a summer's day
Like the silly dove
With no mind she flew away
Across a lazy river drifting
On a summer's day
