Текст песни Carolan Fish - Emptiness

Emptiness - c slow, atmospheric song which expresses a fairly universal feeling of love which is not returned. The young man telling the story is looking on as his heart's desire goes off with other boys and he is left to journey home on a cold bus. He ponders the seemingly misplaced optimism with the world which he used to have, contrasted with his current desire to run away and hide himself. It's a sad tale set to fine music by Martin, including a super keyboard solo.

Emptiness 1985

If this is the end of it
Then what's the point in it
When you are on another's knee
Your voice a storm, tonight a tree
Pale daylight lies a million hours away.
Used to put my deepest hopes within its light
Used to say whatever wronged me would be made right
The bus is cold, empty, hurts my soul
I want to go where the night isn't cold.

If this is the end of it, then I'm no part of it
I'll be cast off that easily.
The wet night hears my heartfelt plea
I lift my eyes for answers to the clouds -
Used to think the sad and
Empty gods would hear
Used to just survive
If only the dawn was clear
But oh, just now, mute, nothing's told
I want to go where the night isn't cold.

Used to put my deepest hopes within its light
Used to say whatever wronged me would be made right
The bus is cold, empty, hurts my soul
I want to go where the night isn't cold.
