Empty Nest

(browne)



Slap on the back

For the man with the sand in his hair

Spinning with sound

As you're feeling around for the change

Twist off the top

Even though you know he's never there

Polish the thoughts

For a moment you notice it's strange

How emptiness remains

Oh !, emptiness remains

Oh !, empty nest



Back in the shadow of days

Somehow you are remembering

But constant the flow

Of the poison that fills up your space

Day hits your eyes

Like the flash of a wedding day camera

Twist of the blade

But a memory you'll never betray

How emptiness remains

Oh !, emptiness remains

Oh !, empty nest



You get lost while you still can

That's the cost of living on a landslide

You can dance every night

No one's laughing at you now
