Joan Armatrading - Empty Highway Lyrics

Empty Highway - Joan Armatrading

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 feels like the sky gets violent
Sometimes it feels like nobody cares
Sometimes it feels like I'm on an empty highway
And I'm on a road to nowhere
Yeah - I'm on a road to nowhere
As I watch the street light flicker like the dying embers of your affection
As I watch the street light 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 times
Who cares if the world stops spinning
'cos I'm a lonely number, yeah, I'm a lonely number
As I lay me down to sleep all the little birds and the bees that would
Sing toward the lovers they just pass me by, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Even in my dreams vivid colours turn to a grey scale
Even in my dreams vivid colours turn to a grey scale
And I turn to you and I ask, "How can I make things better?"
And you say, you say, "It's gone, It's gone, It's gone, It's over"
And I stand outside and stretch my underwear
And I watch the gentle rain fall, yeah
Watch the gentle rain falling down, yeah
Watch the gentle rain fall down
