Comin' Up Empty (Bourke/Chamberlin/Ferrugia)




LONELY WOKE ME LIKE A WHISPER

I LAY LISTENING TO THE RHYTHM

OF YOUR BREATHING IN THE DARK

SO FAMILIAR , SO STRANGE, SO CLOSE, SO FAR AWAY

I'D REACH OUT FOR YOU BUT EVERYTIME I DO

I KEEP COMING UP EMPTY



IT LEAVES ME WEARY TO MY BONES

EVERY MOMENT OF SILENCE

LIKE STONES THAT WEIGH ME DOWN

YOU'RE HERE BUT YOU'RE GONE, I WANT SO BAD TO RIGHT WHAT'S WRONG

I TRY TO FIND THE WORDS BUT THEY FLY AWAY LIKE BIRDS

I KEEP COMING UP EMPTY



IF I WAKE YOU UP AND TELL YOU

WHAT IT IS I REALLY NEED

WOULD YOU HOLD ME AND LOVE ME

MAKE IT LIKE IT USED TO BE

CAUSE I NEED A LONG COOL DRINK FROM

THAT DEEP WELL TO FILL ME

BUT I KEEP COMING UP EMPTY



MOONLIGHT SILENT ON THE HARDWOOD FLOOR

BARE DRESSER DRAWER OPEN FRONT DOOR

AND THE STING OF A WINTER WIND

CUTS THROUGH MY HEART MAKES ME STOP, START

SEARCHING FOR JUST ONE REASON TO STAY WITH YOU

I KEEP COMING UP EMPTY



IF I WAKE YOU UP AND TELL YOU

WHAT IT IS I REALLY NEED

WOULD YOU HOLD ME AND LOVE ME

MAKE IT LIKE IT USED TO BE

‘CAUSE I NEED A LONG COOL DRINK FROM

THAT DEEP WELL TO FILL ME

BUT I KEEP O I KEEP COMIN UP EMPTY

I KEEP COMIN UP EMPTY
