Lyrics
Empty Street
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Walking on the empty street with tomorrow on my mind.
Every day it seems the same I find it hard to reason why,
a reason why.
I see the man in the big black car wishing he could have my place.
Give him just a week of my life and wipe the smile off from his face,
off from his face.
Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last.
Why can't I just look forward? It's not sympathy I ask.
We've reached the turning point; we've reached the point of no return.
I don't think they'll ever listen so now's the time to act.
Look around can you see my life, just a wide and empty space,
looking for encouragement of a worthwhile thing to do, a thing to do.
The country's in a hell of a state everyday upon the news,
it's all the same, if they win it's always us they will abuse,
they will abuse.
Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last.
Why can't I just look forward? It's not sympathy I ask.
We've reached the turning point; we've reached the point of no return.
I don't think they'll ever listen so now's the time to act.
Walking on the empty street with tomorrow on my mind.
Every day it seems the same I find it hard to reason why,
a reason why.
Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last.
Why can't I just look forward? It's not sympathy I ask.
We've reached the turning point; we've reached the point of no return.
I don't think they'll ever listen so now's the time to act.
Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last.
Why can't I just look forward? It's not sympathy I ask.
We've reached the turning point.
