FIRST AID KIT - Emmylou

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 if 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
You know I’m not asking much of you, just sing little darling sing with me

And yes I might have lied to you
You wouldn’t benefit from knowing the truth
I was frightened but I held back
I need you now 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

Just sing little darling sing with me
