EMMA
written by john common

emma I know you're out there
somewhere down the road
probably waiting tables
and doing what you're told
emma I'm coming for you
hope I get there soon
gonna take you away from
everything that makes you blue
makes you blue

emma when I get there
I'll walk in kind of slow
you might not recognize me
as someone who you know
I'll sit down at your table
and watch you for a while
we could drink some coffee
and talk about those long, lonely miles
lonely miles

conversation
conversation

how did you get here
why'd you disappear
I didn't volunteer
to be your souvenir

I guess you left for a reason
I guess I'll leave it too
even though you're miles away
I'll always carry you
I'll guess I'll just keep waiting
for this to go away
but baby in the meantime
I hope that you're okay
you're okay

conversation
conversation

how did you get here
why'd you disappear
I didn't volunteer
to be your souvenir
