EMMIE
(Nyro)
Laura Nyro - 1968


Oo la la la
Oo la la la la
Emily
And her love to be
Carved in a heart
On a berry tree
But it's only a little farewell lovespell
Time to design a woman -
Touch me
Oh wake me
Emily you ornament the earth
For me
Emily
You're the natural snow
The unstudied sea
You're a cameo
And I swear you were born
A weaver's lover
Born for the loom's desire -
Move me
Oh sway me
Emily you ornament the earth
For me
Emmie your mama's been a-callin you
oo
who stole
Mama's heart
and cuddled
in her garden? darlin Emmie
Oh la la la
You're my friend
And I loved you
Emily
