Lyrics Emily Ivory - Guster

Emily Ivory

Blue skies are opening up
Soon there will be gardens to grow
Emily, now the world is brightening
Look around, look around
Stuck in a tower in a forest
Working her needle and her thread
A Sagittarius
Hoping for something else
She wears her mother’s clothes to bed
Emily Ivory waits for the chance of a lifetime
It hasn’t happened yet
Emily’s under a blanket she knit for a love
She hasn’t met him yet
She knows one day he’ll sweep her away
Carry her up to the altar
Emily Ivory’s ready to make an escape
Big things are coming soon
Branch out, a scenery change
Little birds flown from the nest
Emily thought a revolution
Had come around, come around
She met a Gemini
And bid her world goodbye
She wore her mother’s wedding dress
Emily Ivory waits from an ivory tower
Just like the one she knew
Tying her blankets together and weaving a ladder
Just like she used to do
And every day she’s dreaming away
Eighty-five miles an hour
Emily Ivory’s ready to make her escape
Big things are coming soon
It’s one step
Everything gets so much brighter
Emily Ivory waits for, the chance of a lifetime
She never let it go
Emily’s on a vacation, she’s counting her stars
Somewhere in Mexico
She knows one day he’ll sweep her away
Carry her over the border
Emily Ivory’s ready to make an escape
Big things are coming soon
And every day she’s dreaming away
Everything’s coming together
Emily Ivory’s watching, the planets align
Big things are coming soon
