Kelly Lynn Gitter - Empty Places lyrics

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
