Emily commit your tenderness to me
That only death should capture me from you
In the belly of a burning ship at sea
I will wait eternally for you
My dear emily
Little starlet emily
Darling, as the bells of winter resonate
And our bodies meet their fate, i'll ask
Was it just a childish crush afflicting me
Or some daring revery that stole my years, emily
Little blushing emily
Were you always spoken mirrors
Were you only stars above my sea
Were you just the dusty hinterland
Were you just some fallen city
