Not all that glitters comes from gold
Two young lovers, story's old
The snake and the apple
The moon and the sun
You said you looked the other way
He never had so much to say
But unspoken and broken and is it okay
But was I in your mind
That lonely summer night
When he said
Can't you see
We'll run away and change your name to
Emily
Cuz feelings come and go but I could
Never leave
With you next to me
Cuz I'm always yours from then to ever more
He's out your window time again
Hugging shadows making friends with the street lights
Watching him find his way home
And you're at my dinner table
Thursday afternoon
And he's hiding in his room till god knows when
And I dream when you don't sleep a place for you and me
Where you said
Can't you see
I cannot go I'll never be your
Emily
Cuz feelings come and go but I could
Never leave
My family
So don't call me yours don't call me anymore
And I'm a thousand miles gone now
And I'd wait a thousand more if time allowed
And I wouldn't stay for anyone
I never cared for shallow love
Just yours
Can't you see
I'll never know why you became his
Emily
Cuz he has come and gone but
Did I ever leave
You lonely
Oh I'm always yours
From then to evermore
Evermore
