For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her

1. What a dream I had pressed in organdy

clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy

softer than the rain

I wandered empty streets down past the shop displays

I heard cathedral bells tripping down the alley ways

as I walked on.

2. And when you ran to me your cheeks flushed with the night

we walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight

I held your hand

and when I awoke and felt you warm and near

I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears

oh I love you girl oh I love you.
