It's so good to see your face tonight 
I could have sworn it was a trick of light 
I've been haunted, I been so alone 
In no-man's-land, in a twilight zone 

Oh Emma, oh please 
Help now I'm on my knees 
Oh Emma, hold tight 
Don't let me slip away tonight 

Like a [bad word] out rag, I've been hanging on a line 
I'm washed-out and I'm empty, and I'm barely alive 
Way too tired [bad word]  and my luck is all burned out 
The grain of [bad word] remaining tells me how I need you now 

Oh Emma, don't leave me 
I'm on my knees believe me 
Oh Emma, hold tight 
Just don't let go of me tonight

Give me hope and give me strength, pull me back into this world 
Give me life again to love you, and I promise that I will: 

Oh Emma, please help me 
These feelings overwhelming me 
Oh Emma, hold tight 
Don't let me slip away tonight ...
