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
