Emily lyrics

It was a cold night in the factory alone,

when the wolves knocked on my door.

There was a sea of light running out of my eyes,

I was forced to fight, oh, I was forced to grow.

And so the nights went with summer hearts for the love we share.

And tired eyes were the only thing we had left to show.

Close your eyes Emily and I’ll be with you.

Just close your eyes Emily and I’ll be with you.

I am on your side when your heart is falling through.

I am just outside, I’ve been dancing with the wolves.

But it was harder to keep it when you were running with the horses.

I am the only truth in all of your lies,

but I’m the hardest one to believe.

There was a flash of light running over our heads,

in the distance she was stood on stones that I won’t tread.

And so the nights went with summer hearts for the love we share.

And tired eyes were the only thing we had left to show.

Close your eyes Emily and I’ll be with you.

Just close your eyes Emily and I’ll be with you.

I am on your side when your heart is falling through.

I am just outside, I’ve been dancing with the wolves.

But it was harder to keep it when you were running with the horses.
