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...

emily, emily, emily¡­¡­
