Tears for Fears – Emily Said (Lyrics)
Written By: Roland Orzabal
Lyrics (Start at 0:18):
Wake up said Emily
The light outside is heavenly
She takes another picture then she cries
Ain’t this the sweetest life
No pain or human sacrifice
Just you and me and strawberry skies
You could cry yourself to sleep and they won’t know
I’ll be lying at your feet with vertigo
You could cry yourself to sleep and they won’t know – my love
There’ll be no more grinding teeth or razing ghosts – my love
You’ve seen enough
Is it her destiny
To only see the best in me
And never say dear Roland, you are wrong?
She’ll light a fire tonight
And we will put the world to right
Just one more Hallelujah till dawn
Just remember love is light not skin and bone
Just go easy on yourself you’re not alone
You could cry yourself to sleep and they won’t know – my love
There’ll be no more grinding teeth or razing ghosts – my love
You’ve seen enough
Emily said get out of your head and go make some tea for the two of us
I know you’re sad and life is a drag but just go and water the plants
These are things that will help your anxiety
Emily said
