Empty Room

EMPTY ROOM

It’s hard to explain away–– the stars in the sky
And it’s hard to explain away–– what happened to you and I
A slow entanglement–– of dreams and desire
And the world was born–– in a ball of fire, a ball of fire…

We took passage on a star, took us here to where we are
So very far from where we started from,
And all we’d come to know
And we’ve got so far left to go

At every destination, another explanation
That they’ll try to sell you, and they’ll try to tell you
Anything, to get you down– from– there–
To where you just don’t care

That angels came and trumpets blew…
It’s not the same here without you
I guess I’ll wish upon that star…that you were not so very far
Away from where our love lies now entombed…in an empty room

And how do you leave an empty room,
Hold onto a fire that’s burning through
Escape from what you’re running to––,

And how do you leave an empty room
Hold on to a fire that’s burning through,
Escape from what you’re running to
And how do you leave an empty room….

Na na na na na na na na…
We took passage on a star, took us here to where we are
So very far from where we started from,
And all we’d come to know
And we’ve got so far left to go

Yeah, it’s hard to explain away–– the stars in the sky
And it’s hard to explain away–– what happened to you and I
A slow entanglement–– of dreams and desire
And the world was born–– in a ball of fire, a ball of fire…

We took passage on a star, took us here to where we are
So very far from where we started from,
And all we’d come to know
And we’ve got so far left to go,
And we’ve got so far left to go.
And we’ve got so far left to go.
