Rainy night and the mist hanging around

Time is listening like a shroud

Into the house comes an eerie light

Settles down easy around the room

Sending signals out of the gloom

Now’s the time to be thinking thinking Beyond 

Emily

Faded photograph kept in a broken frame

Hangs there waiting just the same

Waitin for a love that’s never coming back

A distant drum beating in your heart

But has this story gone a little too far

Now’s the time to be thinking thinking Beyond 

Emily

Cut the thread, take another road

Don’t look at the trail behind you

Is that you there in the photograph

Just fading fading away

Snap your fingers bang on a different drum

Get those shadows out on the run

Yesterday’s papers don’t have a lot to say

Just stack them over there by the door

Who’s going to need them anymore

Now you’re finally thinking thinking Beyond

Emily
