Emerald - Bruce Roberts

Oh Emerald

I didn’t mean to act this way

I feel numb and dumb

And oh so overcome by the things we say

Oh Emerald

I am not your little boy

Times are tough enough for us to be so rough

Swimming hard against the waves

I don’t mean to act so cruel

And I don’t mean to punish you

Must this be the life we choose?

I don’t want to be a slave to you

I just want to be true

Oh Emerald

If you could only see the view from my eyes

Then you’d know how far I’ve gone for you

But you look the other way
