Empty Places Lyrics - Singles - Kelly Lynn Gitter

Empty Places 

It was twilight on the way to San Antonio 

I pulled aside to give the boy a ride 

I knew I had a long and lonely way to go 

So I was glad he smiled and climbed inside 

Forgot the dangers from the strangers on the road 

He looked so frail with his guitar and heavy load 

His shoes were almost gone 

His jeans were faded grey 

But he played that old guitar and sang the lonely hours away 

He sang of Empty Places 

A lonely lighthouse down by the sea 

Empty Places 

Like those inside of me 

Till then Id always said and done the proper thing 

My life was nice and neat, completely planned 

A man in San Antone was waiting with a ring 

In a world I knew Id always understand 

Ahead a diners neon sign lit up the plain 

We both were starved but as we stopped we heard a train 

That distant whistle stirred 

A longing deep inside 

His eyes filled up with feelings 

Like the ones I tried to hide 

He sang of Empty Places 

A lonely lighthouse down by the sea 

Empty Places 

Like those inside of me 

Inside of me 

Well I dont remember much about that motel room 

So dark and hardly big enough for two 

But I wont forget the love that rose above the gloom 

And in the morning light I felt brand new 

When he was leaving he said wont you come along 

But even though I knew that San Antone was wrong 

I said goodbye to lots of things 

And drove back to L.A. 

And I was safe for years till on the radio today 

He sang of Empty Places 

A lonely lighthouse down by the sea 

Empty Places 

Like those inside of me 

He touched the Empty Places Still inside of me
