"Emmylou" lyrics - 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 I find like a ghost in my mind
I am defeated and I gladly wear the crown

I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
And 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
And 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 all 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
And 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
And 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
