Please Emmalene
A declaration of love for a child, and an expression of the fear of letting go as the child grows up. An acoustic guitar and mandolin-driven folk rock song that has a Celtic feel.

Lyrics
Please Emmalene
I'd memorise books of a thousand pages
I'd wrestle wild animals in gilded cages
I'd lay me down in a snowmelt stream
I'd do anything just to please Emmalene
Please Emmalene, Emmalene please
Do as I ask I'm down on my knees
Please don't cry and please don't fly
And please don't ever leave me, Emmalene
I'd build you a sand castle eight miles high
I'd harmonise with the birds on high
On broken glass I'd crawl and bleed
I'd do anything just to please Emmalene
Please Emmalene, Emmalene please
Do as I ask I'm down on my knees
Please don't cry and please don't fly
And please don't ever leave me, Emmalene
When you bring us your smile, the flags they fly
Shooting stars light up the sky with sunshine
I'd drink my fill from a poisoned well
I'd lay down all posessions as well
Scale the mountains, swim the seas
I'd do anything just to please Emmalene
Please Emmalene, Emmalene please
Do as I ask I'm down on my knees
Please don't cry and please don't fly
And please don't ever leave me, Emmalene
When you bring us your smile, the flags they fly
Shooting stars light up the sky with sunshine
Please Emmalene
I'd memorise books of a thousand pages
I'd wrestle wild animals in gilded cages
I'd lay me down in a snowmelt stream
I'd do anything just to please Emmalene
Please Emmalene, Emmalene please
Do as I ask I'm down on my knees
Please don't cry and please don't fly
And please don't ever leave me, Emmalene
I'd build you a sand castle eight miles high
I'd harmonise with the birds on high
On broken glass I'd crawl and bleed
I'd do anything just to please Emmalene
Please Emmalene, Emmalene please
Do as I ask I'm down on my knees
Please don't cry and please don't fly
And please don't ever leave me, Emmalene
When you bring us your smile, the flags they fly
Shooting stars light up the sky with sunshine
I'd drink my fill from a poisoned well
I'd lay down all posessions as well
Scale the mountains, swim the seas
I'd do anything just to please Emmalene
Please Emmalene, Emmalene please
Do as I ask I'm down on my knees
Please don't cry and please don't fly
And please don't ever leave me, Emmalene
When you bring us your smile, the flags they fly
Shooting stars light up the sky with sunshine
