Empty Heart © 1974, aidan nolan

When they let me out of school, I played the fool,
And I played the part real well,
I had fought a lot of things, and broke a lot of strings,
And sung a silly song, but I did not belong,
To the melancholy mad, who tell me they are glad,
That the winter’s through,
But the rain had just begun, to sit upon the sun,
And so my spirit flew to the summer that is you…..

Empty Heart of mine, fill up on her love shine,
And don’t let the sun rise, ‘til the morning come, and I have to run,

They called me on the phone, when I came home,
And they said nothing’s changed,
But I was not surprised, to look into their eyes,
And see that what I’d missed had only been your kiss,

Empty Heart of mine, fill up on her love shine,
And don’t let the sun rise, ‘til the morning come, and I have to run,
Empty Heart………

Let me run away from here, help me through the crystal tear,
To the other side of fear, make my own.
Touch me with your smile again, give me one more moment then,
You can see my feelings blend into your glow Empty Heart……………

And Empty Heart of mine, fill up on her love shine,
And don’t let the sun rise, ‘til the morning come, and I have to run,
