Urge Overkill – Emmaline

(Brown/Wilson)

We were together since we were four

She was so pretty, Emma was a star in everyone’s eyes

And when she said she’d be a movie queen, nobody laughed

A face like an angel, she could be anything

Emmaline, Emma Emmaline,

I’gonna write your name high on that silver screen

Emmaline, Emma Emmaline,

I’m gonna make you the biggest star this world had ever seen

At seventeen, we were wed

And i worked day and night to earn our daily bread

And every day Emma would go out searchin’ for that break

That never, ever came her way

You know, sometimes she’d come home so depressed,

I’d hear her cryin’in the bedroom, feelin’ so distressed

An’I remember back when she was four

To the words that used to make Emmaline come alive

It was…

Emmaline, Emma, Emmaline

I’gonna write your name high on that silver screen

Emmaline, Emma Emmaline,

I’m gonna make you the biggest star this world had ever seen

It was cold an’dark on that summer night

When I opened up the bedroom door

To find her lyin’ still and cold upon the bed

A love letter lyin’ on the bedroom floor

It read: “Darling, I love you,

But I just can’t keep living on dreams anymore,

I tried so very hard not to leave you alone…

I just can’t keep on trying no more”
