Follow You 03:40
Take the night let us walk And take each star, let it shine in silence And brush away the fears and the tiredness As the city dreams we'll talk the night through When daylight breaks you'll be gone You raise your hand in farewell A blazing trail stretches out before you But I feel this space you've behind you So go sweet brother, go Believe me when I say that I'll try for tomorrow So go sweet brother, go Believe when I say that I'll try to follow, I'll try To follow you And I hope you'll write from time to time I hope that place treats you kind And I hear your voice in this room A memory of the songs that were sung So go sweet brother go Believe me when I say that I'll try for tomorrow So go sweet brother go Believe when I say that I'll try to follow, I'll try To follow you To follow you

Roses 03:41
I dreamed you came to me You arms full of roses Straight off the plane To be here in my arms Now take me back to your heart Now take me back to your arms I dreamed you came to me Your eyes they were laughing Reached out took my hand Took me dancing Now take me back to your heart Now take me back to your arms I dreamed you came to me There was paint still wet on your fingers Words through colourful whirlpools Told me how you felt Now take me back to your heart Now take me back to your arms

Here in the heat of the night I can hear your voice on the night wind, calling my name And I recall every word that you said Your face so close to mine, I could feel your breath And now I'm awake in the night Thinking you're beside me Holding me here at your side Then I recall that the night was only ours to borrow And I never thought to say goodbye The white rose in your lapel It fell at an angle, so I reached out and set it straight It was only a moment I'm young and foolish I don't, no I don't think you noticed But I'm hoping you'll remember me And now I'm awake in the night Thinking you're beside me Holding me here at your side Then I recall that the night was only ours to borrow And I never thought to say goodbye I know that your life is a suitcase and an open road And there's endless faces and places you'll see And I wanted to stay But the car was waiting To carry me into the night And I wish I could have taken you with me And now I'm awake in the night Thinking you're beside me Holding me here at your side Then I recall that the night was only ours to borrow And I never thought to say goodbye

Take me out on the rooftop Where the chimneys reach for the sky And unknown lights stretch out for miles around And hold me here a while You know I've been missing you a while You've got an hour or two, spend it with me tonight And for that hour we'll sit in silence the city lights warm the sky And hear the voices of the passers by So you light another cigarette, refresh the empty the glass Another hour unfolds as we sit here And look on a mystery of lives we don't yet know And wonder which direction this will go But let's quit the talk about it It never gets us anywhere Just round and round in circles chasing time So sit out on the rooftop Beneath the starry sky Content just to be, for tonight Take me out on the rooftop, for a little time Let the world slip by for a while Let the world slip by for a while Let the world slip by for a while Let the world slip by for a while For a while For a while

Heading Home 04:45
Trust me this path is the one that we're meant to follow Take my hand, trust me, this road is where we should go Trust me I'm asking you though you don't know where it's headed Can't tell you what's lying ahead, but we'll find it We've tried asking people who who've been here for the directions But each one says they're not sure they could recall the way And the birds in the sky are making their way for the winter And the sky above's turning from blue, soft into grey But come with me though you're not sure all the answers And I don't know either, can't tell you that I know the way But something about this feels like the way we should go Something about this feels like we're headed home There are footprints laid out behind that mark where we've come from Some are faded and jaded by water that's rubbed them away And the shadows and light stretching out towards the horizon Light is fading and sometimes we feel the path slipping away But come with me though you're not sure all the answers And I don't know either can't tell you that I know the way But something about this feels like the way we should go Something about this feels like we're headed home That we're heading home Home That we're headed home

about

Emily Davies Exeter, UK

Undeniably steeped in the magic of the past, while still maintaining a refreshing air of the new, her songs blend bittersweet folk with a melodic mix of alt-country and a genuine pop sensibility and showcase a voice that's breathy, big and soulful too. She is a pure and supremely talented songwriter: spend a little time in her presence and drift away somewhere else entirely. ... more
