She's not a heavy sleeper, she listens to the night
F C G
She's a dreamer. She's the keeper of the pointe au baril light
C G
And when the lamp is lit she gives her mind to the wind
F G
She sits up by the light and plays her violin
G F C G
There's a ring on her finger. It glistens as she plays
F C G
The light holds her in a warm embrace
C G
She thinks of the man who promised her the night
F C G
Come with me, emmeline, we'll be keepers of the light
F G C G
Emmeline, let your fiddle be a boat
And with every note you play you'll be sailing back again
F
To the days when you were young
G C G
Tune your ear to the wind
C G C Am G Em
Play your violin, play your fiddle, emmeline, you'll be sailing
F C G
Hard to believe it's seven years since he passed on
F C G
All the children married now, she keeps the light alone
C G
So when the lamp is lit she puts her fiddle to her chin
F C G
Draws strength from the music, takes comfort in the wind
G F G
The point au baril beacon makes pictures in the dark
F C G
Every flash a photograph she keeps in her heart
C G
Emmeline the mother, the lover, the friend
F C G
Emmeline the dreamer who plays the violin

They're changing all these lights, they won't need keepers now

You've lived out your dream, you're the last of your kind

There'll never be another... Emmeline
