lyrics

Empire Blues


The way’s shut out once again
The rising stars
The light will bend
And you build a ship
But you walk away
For good this time
I’ve seen you smile
They smile with you

Empire blue
Empire blue

A metal horse
On metal strips
You cannot hide
You barely swim
And you’re on the cure
But time won’t stop
They’re wasted years
Wasted light
Wasted fear

I see you once in a while
Duck and hide
You weave a life out of lies
You’re telling me

Empire blue
Empire blue
Empire blue
Empire blue
It’s good this time
I’ve seen you smile
They smile with you

I see you once in a while
Duck and hide
You weave a life out of lies
You’re telling me
You’re telling me
