I had a dream I could leave you behind

Looking back over my cold shoulder

Little girl stepping down to the river

You call for me but I do not answer



In a daze I was walking away

Losing memories of love and laughter

I was fading into the darkness

It was me, but there was no likeness



Emily, Emily...

Emily, Emily... It was just a bad dream... Just a bad dream...



I had a dream I was going away

Looking back I could see you dreaming too

Sleep-walking down by the river

I called your name but you did not answer me...

And I did not answer you...

You did not answer me…

And I did not answer you...

Emily, Emily...



I woke up in the middle of the night

I took you in my arms and held you tightly

You were cold and shivering all over

I woke you up baby what's the matter...



You were trapped in a terrible dream

You were drowning in ice cold water

I was gone, I was far away

But you could hear me calling out your name…



Emily, Emily, Emily...

Emily, Emily... It was just a bad dream... Just a bad dream...



You had a dream I was going away

Looking up you could see me dreaming too

Sleep-walking down by the river

You called my name but I did not answer you

And you did not answer me

I did not answer you

And you did not answer me...

Emily, Emily...



Emily, Emily, Emily……
