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 up 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... Emily, Emily...
