"Emily" lyrics

She always danced like there was no one else here in this room
The way she smiled could turn every seed into bloom
There's not a beer or a night out on the town that she didn't like
And I bet her soul
Will never let go
Of the way we used to be
I used to hang around Emily

I bet her father still thinks I'm trash
I was gonna be different
Come a long way since 19
Was hoping she'd change like I changed for her
I can still see her eyes
The best shade of emerald green
But that's how it goes
It'll never change
The hills and creeks will never see
I used to hang around Emily

And if a dollar was what she wanted
To help change her mind
Well I'd give up my whole check book just to have all of her time
I hope she's well
I wish her all the best
Since the day she left me
I used to hang around Emily

The winds never stop
The cars keep on rolling
And I'll sit with a cup of tea
I used to hang around Emily
And if a dollar was what she wanted
To help change her mind
Well I'd give up my whole check book just to have all of her time
I hope she's well
I wish her all the best
Since the day she left me
I used to hang around Emily
I used to hang around Emily
