You stand at the water's edge and somewhere in last night There's a child, she laughs There's a girl, she cries And they are both inside your eyes Yeah, they are both there in your eyes I left town a couple years, when I came home I was so amazed at how you had grown But you had cages of your own Yeah, you had cages of your own I wish that I could find a way to keep you safe I wish that I could heal you today Emma Only cracked and broken can I see you full of light When the winter ends but you're still not right Well we're all wounded from the fight Yeah we're all victims of this life I wish that I could find a way to keep you safe I wish that I could heal you today Emma Emma Please don't swallow the darkness Please don't swallow the world Girl, don't swallow the shadow Don't let it swallow my girl I wish that I could find a way to keep you safe I wish that I could heal you today Emma I wish that I could find a way to keep you safe I wish that I could heal you today Emma Emma Emma
