Píseň: Empty Highway

Interpret:
Joan Armatrading
Album:
Into The Blues
Watch the rain gently fall
 Like the tears running down my face


 Watch the rain gently fall
 Like the tears running down my face


 Sometimes it feel like the sky' is violence
 Sometimes it feels like nobody hears
 Sometimes it fells like I'm on an empty highway
 And I'm on a road to nowhere
 I'm on a road to nowhere


 As I watch the street lights flicker
 Like the dying embers of your affection


 As I watch the street lights flicker
 Like the dying embers of your affection


 Sometimes it feels like we never kissed
 I've got no interest in the push and pull of the tides
 Who cares if the world stops spinning
 Cos I'm a lonely number
 Yea I'm a lonely number


 As I lay me down to sleep
 All the little birds and the bees
 That would sing to all the lovers
 They just pass me by
 Yea yea yea


 Even in my dreams
 Vivid colours turn to a grey scale


 Even in my dreams
 Vivid colours turn to a grey scale


 And I turn to you and I ask
 How can I make things better
 And you say it's gone it's gone it’s gone it's over
 And I stand outside in just my underwear
 And I watch the gentle rain fall
 Yea watch the gentle rain fall down
 Yea I watch the gentle rain fall down
