Emma Lyrics by Claybank

Roadsigns and Highways

2019

[Verse 1]
I still remember our first sunset, a boy just livin' out his dreams
And a blue-eyed girl who just turned seventeen
Down by the river chasin' bullfrogs, pantlegs rolled up to our knees
And like the water, our love was strong and deep
[Verse 2]
Workin' two shifts at the sawmill, paid for a shiny little ring
And you cried the night I got down on one knee
I built a cabin out of pine logs in a grove white oak trees
Then when times got hard, you got hard to please
[Chorus]
Emma my dear, full of hopes and dreams and fears
A home and little family we have started
Emma my dear, things arеn't as bad as they appear
How could I end up alonе and brokenhearted?
[Verse 3]
Still the one that's feelin' guilty as you pack your things and leave
And the sawdust filled the pockets of my jeans
I turned to whiskey, wine, and brandy, and a million other things
But nothin's strong enough to put my mind at ease
[Verse 4]
This empty cabin just gets colder with each letter I receive
And I cry like hell with each one that I read
Tells me that you've found another and he meets your every need
What happened to the heart that once belonged to me?
[Chorus]
Emma my dear, I don't know what brought us here
Have our childhood memories all been forgotten?
Emma my dear, I'm reminded of the years
Before our cabin timbers went to rottin'
[Chorus]
Emma my dear, how I long to hold you near
Start a new life where the old one sadly ended
Emma my dear, I have cried a thousand tears
For my broken heart will never again be mended
[Outro]
Oh, Emma my dear
