Hey Emily, I can see that you're looking sort of low
You should know, that your kids will turn out fine
It's been long since he's gone, still you never say a word
You preferred feelings kept in line
And in your mind he's still around
In the pictures that you've found
Painted from a movie screen
Your love is deeper than it looks
Confirmation from your books
And the TV shows you've seen
It's 9 o'clock, so you walk anywhere the currents flow
To a show, or perhaps a social dance
It's no fun, though you've done nothing like this for some time
You still find, absentee romance
The pounding of the undertow
Is compelling you to go
Find some place you're not alone
The world keeps spinning and you find
That you're being left behind
Waiting for a love unknown
An empty home; you're alone, still you feel inclined to say
"How's your day?" needing just to correspond
You feel he's there, so you share a conversation for awhile
And you smile cuz he won't respond
Your thoughts are growing rather stale
So you look back through the mail
Hoping you can find escape
It's getting crowded in your mind
Sharing ideas you find
With each flower printed drape
Hey Emily, I can see that you're looking for a friend
Heaven send someone custom-made for you
