Lyrics Joan Armatrading

Joan Armatrading

Empty Highway

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 colors turn to a gray scale

Even in my dreams

Vivid colors turn to a gray 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
