Chookie From Across the Sea_-EmothLeo

Verse 1

Her name is Brookie

But I call her Chookie when we talk

She comes from the wide Australian plains

I come from the red Ugandan soil

Two continents apart and still I wait

Chorus

Chookie won't you love me

Chookie won't you stay

I have loved you from a distance

Every single lonely day

Chookie won't you love me

Chookie hear my song

I have waited patient seasons

I have waited far too long

Verse 2

I am Emoth

And I am caught so deep in you

An old man's hands are shaking on these strings

I never learned to swim across the sea

But I would try for you

Chorus

Chookie won't you love me

Chookie won't you stay

I have loved you from a distance

Every single lonely day

Chookie won't you love me

Chookie hear my song

I have waited patient seasons

I have waited far too long

Bridge

Maybe you will smile at me

Maybe you will say my name

Maybe love will cross the water

Maybe nothing stays the same

I am hoping I am hoping I am hoping

Chorus

Chookie won't you love me

Chookie won't you stay

I have loved you from a distance

Every single lonely day

Chookie won't you love me

Chookie hear my song

I have waited patient seasons

I have waited far too long

Outro

(Chookie) hear my song

(Chookie) all night long
