Chris Vala - Emily in Vain

Staring out my window at the girl at the balcony
Watching London's wind blow her hair over eyes that are on me
At least that's what I know my lonely mind likes to see
Silhouette in the lamp glow… won't it shine a ray of happiness on me?
Won't it shine a ray of happiness on me
Walking under street lamps, tryna catch a bit of light
But light from all those street lamps is obscuring the night
And glow from all the lamp light is drowning out the stars
And the girl in the window, her silhouetted wind blow is tickling my scars
And I just need to know
Are you out there? Are you seeing my heart's waning glow?
Is there doubt there? Are you hearing my heart's frantic beat?
Are you hearing me call your name? Or am I just crying Emily in vain?
Emily in vain
Driving down the red way, you're driving down the red way to my home
I'm thinking what I should say, I know I know I should stay all alone
Sitting on my bedsheets, you're sitting on my bedsheets hearing me play
And saying what I wanna say, singing what my heart says "sing", sing it all away!
But I just need to know
Are you out there? Are you seeing my heart's waning glow?
Is there doubt there? Are you hearing my heart's frantic beat?
Are you hearing me call your name? Or am I just crying Emily in vain?
Emily in vain
Hey there Emily
Won't you just look at me
Hey there Emily
But as I sit here thinking all the way
Yeah I could see you winking at him play
And I could see you taking his breath away
And I could see him blinking, he made your day
And I know what just happened... I don't know what just happened but let me say
That I know it has happened, yeah baby it has happened yesterday
Happened to me again. It's happened to me again and I can't stay
Go out in the open, yeah go out in the open - leave this place straight away!
And I know what you're thinking, yeah I know what you're thinking, but let me say
I need you to know girl, yeah I need you to know girl that you made my day
And I need you to understand, yeah I need you to understand that you're in my way
Of being happy not in love, of being happy not in love
So just let me here you say, cause I just need to know
Are you out there? Are you seeing my heart's waning glow?
Is there doubt there? Are you hearing my heart's frantic beat?
Are you hearing me call your name? Or am I just crying Emily in vain?
