Lyrics

MPTY AS THE WIND
words & music by Grayson Hugh


Clouds are sailing on the cliffs of Dover
with the shadow of this airplane on the sand
like a wave I come from far and distant beaches
in my arms are shells
and names I once knew so well
now I'm empty  
empty as the wind  
now I'm empty 
empty as the wind

You were hiding like a siren on the shoreline
but I could not hear you calling out to me
for in my ears the waves of distant thunder
sang their song to me
a sound of destiny
oh now I'm empty  
empty as the wind 
now I'm empty   
empty as the wind  
baby now I'm empty 
empty as the wind  

The dark of night I leave behind me
I'm going forward to the sun
going where no one can find me
out of the dark and stormy clouds I come

Out on the rainy streets of London
all the sky is falling down
I turn to hear a song that I've forgotten
its faint familiar strain
lies underneath the rain
now today it all has changed
now I'm empty
empty as the wind
ain't no doubt
empty as the wind
and the rain comes falling down
down, down, down
down to the ground
I know I'm empty
empty as the wind
