Empty Streets

Remember when the nights had no end

The moon was made for us to keep

The winter came the cold the rain

And we did noT complain

We had our empty streets

And that's why

I wish I could build a world for you

I wish I could build a world for you

And give you everything your heart desires

As everyone you know will tell you

Before the days could get away

We trapped them in ouR sleep

So they could never leave

The years were scared,

Never dared lay a hand on us

Time was hours to heave

Remember when the nights had no end

And life was all we had to eat

We stole the clocks and hid them all

Behind a crooked lock

And kept our empty streets

And that's why

I wish I could build a world for you

I wish I could build a world for you

And give you everything your heart desires

As everyone you know will tell you
