Text: Los Lobos. Emily.

Emily, take me 'cross the water home
Emily, look how much we have grown
Emily, I still remember the day
Waking up, chasing the shadows away
It won't be long 'til I see your face
Eyes as bright as the sun
It won't be far down this lonesome road
'Til I see you again

Emily, run so fast through the fields
Make believe, all our dreams were so real
It won't be long 'til I see you smile
Turning my night into day
It won't be far down this lonely way
'Til I can hold you again

Emily we can hide, hide from them all
Emily, they can't catch us
They can't catch us now
They can't catch us now
They can't catch us now
