First Aid Kit - Emmylou lyrics

rate me

Oh the bitter winds are comin' in,

And I’m already missin' the summer.

Stockholm's cold but I’ve been told

I was born to endure this kind of weather.

When it’s you I find like a ghost in my mind,

I am defeated and I gladly wear the crown.

Chorus:

I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June

If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too.

No, I’m not askin' much of you

Just sing little darlin', sing with me.

So much I know, that things just don’t grow

If you don’t bless them with your patience.

And I’ve been there before, I held up the door

For every stranger with a promise.

But I’m holdin' back,

That’s the strength that I lack,

Every mornin' keeps returnin' at my window.

And it brings me to you,

When I won't just pass through,

But I’m not askin' for a storm.

Chorus:

I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June

If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too.

No, I’m not askin' much of you,

Just sing little darlin', sing with me.

And yes, I might have lied to you,

You wouldn’t benefit from knowing the truth.

I was frightened but I held fast,

I need you now at long last.

2 x Chorus:

I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June

If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too.

No, I’m not askin' much of you,

Just sing little darlin', sing with me.

Just sing little darlin' sing with me
