Empty Street

Tonight I walk through an empty street
With my shadow stretching right in front of me
This is where my lonely thoughts meet my lonely feet

Tonight I walk through an empty street
The moments and memories pass by
But they mean nothing to me

I sit down by the sidewalk
Lost inside my own heart
Alone in mind and action
Doubt has left me blind

This is our faded portrait
And I’ll be straight with you
Because I can’t possibly leave you without a clue

I’ll write to you
Every chance I get
Tell me you'll listen
And say to me you won't forget

I'll never say I don't have time
When you need me with you
I'll stand in line
If you want me to
And I'll wait for you

If you have something to say
Know I won't look away

And dear I'll sing for you
Songs that no one hears
But tell me you'll listen
And say I'll have your ears

So Tonight I walk through an empty street
With my shadow stretching in front of me
The cold will remind me why I chose this life
And the shadows and light
Will keep me company tonight
