R.I.P. Syd Barrett - "See Emily Play"
January 6 marks the birthday of the late Syd Barrett, writer of Pink Floyd's "See Emily Play"

Emily tries but misunderstands
She's often inclined to borrow
somebody's dreams till tomorrow

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play

Soon after dark Emily cries
Gazing through trees in sorrow,
hardly a sound till tomorrow
