When the morning comes
And the light shines through the window
As it wakes you up
And your eyes are sewn together
But they open up
And you turn to see your lover
But all that’s there is an empty place
Where someone used to be
In that evening sun
When the day is done and all your worried
Memories gone
And you settle down inside to put that
Kettle on
And you look into the mirror
But all that’s there is an empty face
Where someone used to be
But that sun no longer shines on this house
And I feel like a stranger in this town
And I’m not sure how I’m really supposed to feel
All I know is that this emptiness is real
So these midnight walks
Seem to help me when the spirits in the
Night do talk
And the streetlights flicker on in front of
Our old porch
And I look inside the door
But all that’s there is an empty chair
Where someone used to be
But that sun no longer shines on this house
And I feel like a stranger in this town
And I’m not sure how I’m really supposed to feel
All I know is that this loneliness is real
I hear the morning birds
Cause I didn’t sleep a wink last night with
All this stuff
And I know I must be moving on
Although it’s tough
Then I roll over to hold you
But all that’s there is an empty space
Where someone used to be
