Sweet Emily Lyrics

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
