| [00:13.103] | When Emma Rose was ten years old, her father passed away |
| [00:19.920] | She cried to think he'd never see her on her wedding day |
| [00:29.057] | And then her mother sickened and left her on her own |
| [00:35.540] | Saying, "Emma Rose, it grieves me to leave you so alone" |
| [00:45.784] | How long, how long, will it be 'til you're returning? |
| [00:53.368] | How long, how long, must I keep the candles burning? |
| [01:02.688] | When Emma Rose was sixteen years, she was courted and wed |
| [01:10.004] | By Danny Jay the neighbour boy, a fine young man they said |
| [01:19.524] | And in the flowering of their love, Emma had a son |
| [01:26.824] | Danny left one morning before the rising of the sun |
| [01:36.713] | How long, how long, will it be 'til you're returning? |
| [01:44.340] | How long, how long, must I keep the candles burning? |
| [01:53.820] | The years went by and Emma Rose grew bitter in her grief |
| [02:01.521] | Of all the men who came and went, none gave her any peace |
| [02:11.021] | And even age could not erase the beauty in her face |
| [02:18.224] | But Emma Rose had eyes for one who left without a trace |
| [02:26.904] | And tell me |
| [02:28.365] | How long, how long, will it be 'til you're returning? |
| [02:36.068] | How long, how long, must I keep the candles burning? |
| [02:45.576] | Emma lives alone now, the child is grown and gone |
| [02:52.967] | Some say they see her now and then on the days she goes to town |
| [03:02.627] | If you're travelling north, there's a mailbox on the road |
| [03:09.795] | And all it says is 'Emma Rose' in letters faint and old |
| [03:20.091] | How long, how long, will it be 'til you're returning? |
| [03:27.756] | How long, how long, must I keep the candles burning? |
