Empty house
You remind of when I was ten years old
Staring at your wall, feeling mighty old
Promising myself I'd never get too bold
Empty house
Your silence holds secrets I can't keep
And the bird in her cage never falls asleep
She wails into the night and fails to give me peace
But in my hand
I hold the picture of a man
Who once loved me long ago
When he told me
"What you need to understand is
You'll never be alone
No matter, no matter time
Whatever space, right down to the line
You will find
Another face, new love to shine
A change of pace, a brand new rhyme
You won't be on your own"
Empty heart
Your memories are following me to bed
They've crawled into my pillow
Now they're stuck inside my head
I've tried so hard to leave them
But they've re-emerged instead
This house she could inspire
This house she could revive
I'm stuck here with desired
But at least I'm still alive
I don't know what I'm chasing
My breath is running out
My mind, she is racing
With you in her no doubt
But in my hand
I hold the picture of a man
Who once loved me long ago
When he told me
"What you need to understand is
You'll never be alone
No matter place, no matter time
Whatever space, right down to the line
You will find
Another face, a new love to shine
A change of pace, a brand new rhyme
You won't be on your own"
