I'll Be Your Emmylou

I'll Be Your Emmylou - First Aid Kit

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 that 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 to 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

   Chorus

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

   Chorus x 2

Just sing little darling, sing to me
