emmylou

Oh the bitter winds are coming in,
And I’m already missing 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’m defeated and I gladly wear the crown.

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 asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me.

Now 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 holding back,
That’s the strength that I lack,
Every morning keeps returning at my window.
And it brings me to you,
And I won’t just pass through,
But I’m not asking for a storm.

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 asking much of you,
Just sing little darling, 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.

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 asking much of you,
Just sing little darling, sing with me.

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 asking much of you,
Just sing little darling, sing with me.

Just sing little darling, sing with me

I was weaving with the drunks,
Singing Sinatra loud.
I let go of love
Since it finally had me figured out

I was buried like a treasure
But no one ever came to mark the spot
So I got good at pleasure
And started tyin’ tighter knots

Sad can’t catch me
Or call me baby now
When it’s all I use to believe

If the sun don’t light
And the night won’t turn
We’ll get a room at the end of the world
And we’ll rewrite
All the wrongs we’ve learned
Safe in our room at the end of the world

These streets are haunted
With ghosts who wait on luck to come
And they sleep with hornets
And they wonder why they wake up stung

Sad can’t catch me
Or call me baby now
Oh now, well it’s all I use to believe

If the sun don’t light
And the night won’t turn
We’ll get a room at the end of the world
And we’ll rewrite
All the wrongs we’ve learned
Safe in our room at the end of the world

One heart is never enough, alone
One heart is never enough alone
Come on, come on,
Come on and you dance with me, love
Just come on and dance with me love
‘Cause I need it, yeah I need it now
I can see it, I can see it, believe it

If the sun don’t light
And the night won’t turn
We’ll get a room at the end of the world
And we’ll rewrite
All the wrongs we’ve learned
Safe in our room
We’ll be safe in our room at the end of the world

Yes I can see it

You and me at the end of the world

blindhearted

I made a promise to myself
Never again
To get burned by someone else
Until you walked in

I felt the old magic begin
I felt the room startin to spin
As my will came tumbling down

I can’t help it if I’m blindhearted,
Fallin again
I can’t help it if my heart has started
Slowly caving in
And I keep on holdin out for you
Oh, I guess I’m just a blindhearted fool

I’ve got to find a way to live
On my own
I need to find someone who’ll give
Me love that’s strong

It’s like a race against time
Until your face enters my mind
And you still
Burn me to the ground

I can’t help it if I’m blindhearted,
Fallin again
I can’t help it if my heart has started
Slowly caving in
And I keep on holdin out for you
Oh, I guess I’m just a blindhearted fool

Tell everyone to gather ’round
They won’t believe the view
They’re looking at a blindhearted fool…
Over you
