Emily Ivory - Guster

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
