Emma

I'm sorry I don't come more often
Know you love to have me 'round
We'd drink coffee in your garden
Where I used to run round and round

I miss the bird bath under the apple tree
That only bears bitter fruit
And all the well-placed cutlery
Next to the cake you baked last afternoon
You've got the same name as my sister
I wish I saw you as much as I see her

I'll never take the braids that you did for me out
Arthritic fingers felt so delicate, like silk to the touch
The smell of gardenia, the caress of a breeze
Almost cried in front of everyone
It really meant a lot to me

I miss the bird bath under the apple tree
That only bears bitter fruit
And all the well-placed cutlery
Next to the cake you baked last afternoon
You've got the same name as my sister
I wish I saw you as much as I did her

I wish I saw you as much (Emma)
I wish I saw you as much
I wish I saw you as much as I see her

I wish I saw you as much (Emma)
I wish I saw you as much
I wish I saw you as much as I see her

I wish I saw you as much (Emma)
I wish I saw you as much
I wish I saw you as much as I see her

I wish I saw you as much (Emma)
I wish I saw you as much
I wish I saw you as much as I see her

I miss the bird bath under the apple tree
That only bears bitter fruit
And all the well-placed cutlery
Next to the cake you baked last afternoon
You've got the same name as my sister
I wish I saw you as much as I did her

Old-fashioned roses bloom from your care
The fig tree bears fruit over the artichokes there
There in the garden, the garden of my life
Thank you for giving me seconds in your limited time

I won't let them go
I won't let them go
I won't let them go
I won't let them go
I won't let them go
I won't let them go
I won't let them go
I won't let them go
I won't let them go
I won't let them go
I won't let them go
