Emma's Song
Sinead O'Connor · She Who Dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High Shall Abide U
The first time I saw you
I loved you
I loved you
Your face blue
Your eyes too
Your mouth too
Your mouth too
When I heard you
I wanted you
Give birth to you
Give birth to you
I made love to you
Made love to you
The great goddess
Had us blessed
The last time I saw you
I fought with you
I fought with you
I didn't mean to
I didn't mean to
Oh say you'll see me
Let me say sorry
The next time I see you
I'll love you
I'll be sweet to you
I'll take you to
My healing room
Oh we both know
How loneliness goes
Everytime I see you
I want you
I want you
The more I do
You hate me to
But the great goddess
Had us blessed
I loved you
I loved you
Your face blue
Your eyes too
Your mouth too
Your mouth too
When I heard you
I wanted you
Give birth to you
Give birth to you
I made love to you
Made love to you
The great goddess
Had us blessed
The last time I saw you
I fought with you
I fought with you
I didn't mean to
I didn't mean to
Oh say you'll see me
Let me say sorry
The next time I see you
I'll love you
I'll be sweet to you
I'll take you to
My healing room
Oh we both know
How loneliness goes
Everytime I see you
I want you
I want you
The more I do
You hate me to
But the great goddess
Had us blessed
Emma's Song
Sinead O'Connor's 'Emma's Song' stands as a poignant addition to her catalog of socially conscious recordings. Released on the album 'She Who Dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High Shall Abide U', the track exemplifies her signature style of blending raw vocal delivery with themes of poverty and human suffering. The song reflects the broader ethos of her work, particularly evident in her powerful rendition of 'Famine' and her advocacy for the marginalized. As a key piece in her discography, it underscores her commitment to addressing global issues through music, maintaining a stark and unapologetic tone that has defined her career since the early 1990s.
