lyrics
Don't you take my Emma.
Don't you steal her heart away,
All I've ever dreamt of is her face at the end of each day.
Old picnic table,
See you stand,
And tingles take me over.
Oh my God, please let her know
the light that I can show her.
Don't you take my Emma.
Don't you steal her heart away,
All I've ever dreamt of is her face at the end of the day.
*I re-recorded the song without the following verse because it made some listeners think the song was about my sister. To clarify, the campers called her "Emma Kerwin" because they thought we should get married, not because she was my sister. I am embarrassed that people thought I wrote such a lovey dovey song about my sister / :
Your campers call you
Emma Kerwin.
You say the same moon's over
Medfield, MA and Falmouth, ME.
There's life left to discover.
Don't you take my Emma.
Don't you steal her heart away,
All I've ever dreamt of is her face at the end of the day.
Wrapped around
A cigarette,
Two fingers call you over.
"How'd you like the world to know
There's beauty you've kept covered?"
Don't you take my Emma.
Don't you steal her heart away,
All I've ever dreamt of is her face at the end of the day.
Now she's gone.
My secrets stir.
I'll never quite get over
That grace meant more on other tongues
Than from the lips that loved her.
Don't you take my Emma.
Don't you steal her heart away,
All I've ever dreamt of is her face at the end of each day.
