claybank – emma lyrics

[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 h+ll 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
