lyrics

Miss Emma

She said
Being my age you expect nothing good
from change
But her eyes said something else

She said
She would never again
Be so utterly desperate
She had cried her bitterest tears
But her eyes said something else

Buried in a village
That never became a home
Loveless and forgotten
Miss Emma lives alone

She said
What is comes down to
Is to expect nothing
And still not to be desperate

But her eyes said something else

She said
Today I walked to the old mill
The sunlight warmed my face
For a moment I was almost happy
But her eyes said something else

Buried in a village
That never became a home
Loveless and forgotten
Miss Emma lives alone

Sitting in the train
She was sure
She was never
Going back again

Inspired by the Dutch book " Het onverbreekbare zegel" (the unbreakable seal) by Han van Grevelingen’s.
