Bruce Roberts - Emerald lyrics

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 But you 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 We 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
