I found yet another emily song!
Joanna Newsom- Emily
and emily, I saw you last night by the river
I dreamed you were skipping little stones across the surface of the water
frowning at the angle where they were lost, where they were lost forever
current muddied with spangled silt like the sky'd been breathing on a mirror
anyhow, I sat by your side, by the water
you taught me the names of the stars overhead that I wrote down in my ledger
though all I knew of the rote universe were those pleiades loosed in december
I promised you I‘d set them to verse so I'd always remember
flanked by furrows curlin' back like a match held up to a newspaper
Emily, they'll follow your lead - by the letter
and I make this claim, and I'm not ashamed to say I know you better
what they've seen is just a beam of your sun that banishes winter
let us go, we know it's a hopeless endeavor
the ties that bind, they are barbed and spined and hold us both together
there is nothing would help me come to grips with a sky that is gaping and yawning
but there is a song I woke with on my lips as you sailed your great ship t'wards the morning
