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 back, 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

I did not answer you

Emily, Emily

Emily, Emily, Emily, Emily

Emily, Emily, Emily, Emily

Emily, Emily, Emily, Emily

Emily, Emily, Emily, Emily
