For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her
Whispers of Love in Smoky Burgundy: A Dreamer's Tale
Lyrics
What a dream I had
Reflecting on a dream
Pressed in organdy
Describing dream fabric as delicate
Clothed in crinoline of smoky burgundy
Imagining attire in a specific color and material
Softer than the rain
Comparing softness to rain
I wandered empty streets
Walking through deserted streets
Down past the shop displays
Observing store window displays
I heard cathedral bells
Hearing distant church bells
Tripping down the alley ways
Noticing sounds in narrow paths
As I walked on
Continuing the solitary walk
And when you ran to me
Recounting a moment of reunion
Your cheeks flushed with the night
Describing flushed cheeks in the night
We walked on frosted fields
Walking in a dreamlike setting
Of juniper and lamplight
Depicting a scene of nature and light
I held your hand
Expressing physical connection through holding hands
And when I awoke and felt you warm and near
Transitioning from dream to reality
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears
Kissing with tears, expressing gratitude and emotion
Oh, I love you, girl
Declaration of love
Oh, I love you
Reaffirmation of love
