Lyrics
Morning came with a taste of rain
dancing drops on the window pane
lonely shadows on the wall
tell me she's not near at all
Farewell, Emily
We danced to the ocean's rhyme
perfect harmony in meter and time
the sun set low through the heavy air
forming beads of salt in her auburn hair
Farewell, Emily
Fall is over and winter I can see
the leaves are gone and so is she
the days are long and so alone
I'd cry some tears but no one's home
Farewell, Emily
