Song for Emily M

back before this all got started
back before the dream began
i'd resigned myself to always being lonely
to live my life an independent man
and though the road i'm on tends to meander
and the path is marked by random circumstance
i consider myself lucky to have found her
as we wandered down our own respective paths

and i keep dreaming about emily's room
in the morning when she holds me close
and tells me she can't let me go
i'll be coming back to emily soon
to ease my wearied bones

and even in my moments of frustration
even when the world just gets me down
i hope she knows the sense of jubilation
that takes over me whenever she's around

and i keep thinking about what emily said
maybe love's a losing game
but i know with us it ain't the same
cos i'm always dreaming about emily's bed
and hoping that she'll let me stay

and i was dreaming about emily's eyes
there's something there that shines on me
and shows me what i need to see
i see my future there in emily's eyes
and it's exactly where i want to be
it's exactly where i need to be.
