about

Also the title of Emily's second studio album, Despite The Snow was written to accompany a short, silent film by Patti Gaal Holmes which in turn was inspired by the subject of dreams and also by Robert Graves' love poem called 'she tells her love whilst half asleep'.

lyrics

In the dark hours of morning in half words she whispers

Confessing her love through a light sleep in winter
While outside the rain melts the falling white snow

As dawn approaches with sorrow I leave her
But I will take with me all those sleepy confessions

And her words will thaw me like rain melts the snow

She tells her love half asleep
She tells her love half asleep

Through the white morning my mind lays with her

Watching her sleep and hearing her whisper
And I am not lonely and I am not cold

She tells her love half asleep
She tells her love half asleep

Despite the snow I am so warm

Despite the snow I am so warm
Despite the snow I am so warm

For she tells her love half asleep
She tells her love half asleep
She tells her love half asleep

She tells her love half asleep
