lyrics

trapped in a dark green world, i rest a while on wooden towers i have never seen
i will reach the end, carried with the leaves before my friends

when i was young i dreamed of this
distant places i would find
i realised it all too late
words can’t find a way to say

crack down, arrange it all
find out the answer to this question
gather around me then, am i so different from before?

once upon a time i had a friend
showed me the way with a smile
and the choice was late
but when it came
with such a simple answer
it had been, on your mind for so long
from an early dream in the sun
oh sweet emily, oh when will the song sing for you

confessions cruel and harsh
a poison to be spread
a prisoner before you said
watching terrifying screams with blank stares
taken out, there’s nothing left, there’s nothing
open sea
sky above the sun
leave me, to find a way
lonely hours of peace will be
what i need

greeting with a royal pride
hiding with our shame we cry
i wonder if we’re lovelier at night
ash to ash and lie for lie
how i love the silent bride
all we lose is all our heart inside

what if i crossed your path
what if i turned away
followed my own heart
is it right or wrong

open sea
sky above the sun
leave me
to find a way
lonely hours of peace will be
what i need

love the breeze
and how it doesn’t know
see me
i will not stay
think about instead what it means
to be me
to be free

and my words were wrong
because in the end, it takes so many peaceful souls to find
what is love and what is kind
and what should matter to us all
oh sweet emily, oh when will the song sing for you?

and the choice was late but when it came
with such a simple answer, it had been
on your mind for so long
from an early dream in the sun
oh sweet emily, oh when will the song sing for you?
