Emerald — текст песни (Elton John)

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
