《Emma Rose》歌词

[00:00:00] Emma Rose - Kate Wolf

[00:00:09] When Emma Rose

[00:00:10] Was ten years old

[00:00:12] Her father passed

[00:00:14] Away

[00:00:16] She cried to think he'd never see her on her

[00:00:20] Wedding

[00:00:21] Day

[00:00:25] And then her mother sickened

[00:00:28] And left her on her

[00:00:30] Own

[00:00:32] Saying Emma Rose it grieves me to leave you so

[00:00:37] Alone tell me

[00:00:42] How long how long will it be 'til you're returning

[00:00:49] How long how long must

[00:00:53] I keep the candles burning

[00:00:59] When Emma Rose was sixteen years

[00:01:03] She was courted and

[00:01:04] Wed

[00:01:06] By danny jay the neighbor boy a fine young man

[00:01:11] They

[00:01:11] Said

[00:01:16] And in the flowering of their love

[00:01:20] Emma had a son

[00:01:23] And danny left one morning

[00:01:26] Before the rising of the

[00:01:28] Sun

[00:01:33] How long how long

[00:01:36] Will it be 'til you're

[00:01:38] Returning

[00:01:40] How long

[00:01:42] How long

[00:01:43] Must I keep the candles burning

[00:01:50] The years went by and Emma Rose grew bitter in

[00:01:55] Her

[00:01:55] Grief

[00:01:58] Of all the men who came and went

[00:02:01] None gave

[00:02:02] Her any

[00:02:03] Peace

[00:02:07] Even age could not erase

[00:02:11] The beauty in her

[00:02:12] Face

[00:02:14] But Emma Rose had eyes for one who left without

[00:02:20] A trace

[00:02:23] Tell me how long

[00:02:26] How long will it be 'til

[00:02:29] You're

[00:02:29] Returning

[00:02:32] How long how long must I keep the candles burning

[00:02:42] Emma lives alone now

[00:02:45] The child is grown and gone

[00:02:49] Some say they see her now and then on the

[00:02:53] Days she

[00:02:54] Goes to town

[00:02:59] If you're traveling north

[00:03:02] There's a mailbox on the

[00:03:04] Road

[00:03:06] And all it says is Emma Rose in letters faint

[00:03:11] And old

[00:03:16] How long

[00:03:18] How long will it be 'til

[00:03:21] You're

[00:03:21] Returning

[00:03:24] How long

[00:03:25] How long must I keep the candles burning
