Emma
(Written by Christopher Parker Smith)

The original title for this song was, “Tazzina.” My sister had mentioned to me that she carried with her my great aunt’s and my grandmother’s coffee cups. They remind her of sitting with loved ones, talking across tables long gone but to memory. For me, the wanting to remember, to be reminiscent, must always start at the end of something. This song was written to help me better reflect on those moments. The demo was recorded with Kevin Urso, on the fly, at a his studio in Upstate New York.

lyrics

Emma
(Christopher Parker Smith)

let your coffee warm
rest my dear it won’t be long
lay down
your dreams take you from here

last time I saw you I wept
fell to my knees pleading
“heaven or hell you can take my soul”
it’s my love that is leaving

Emma, dearest Emma
Emma, my dearest Emma

I’ll stay until you are fast asleep
until your sobs turn soft breathing
and leave behind all I have ever know
all the love that was worth keeping

Emma, dearest Emma
Emma, dearest Emma
Emma, my dearest Emma
