for emily, whenever i may find her

Singer: johnny rivers

what a dream i had

pressed in organdy

clothed in crinoline of smoky burgundy

softer than the rain. i wandered empty streets

down past the shop displays

i heard cathedral bells tripping down the alley ways

as i walked on. and when you ran to me

your cheeks flushed with the night

we walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight

i held your hand. and when i awoke and felt you warm and near

i kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears

oh i love you

girl

oh i love you.
