Emmylou

All 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.

And it's you I find like a ghost in my mind,

I am defeated and I gladly wear the crown.

I'll be your Emmylou1 and I'll be your June2

if you'll be my Gram1 and my Johnny,2 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've held up the door 

for every stranger with a promise.

But I'm holding back,

it'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,

but 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.
