Lyrics:
Empty Box
I tore open the package it was an empty box
no meaning to me just an empty box
sender was a woman sender was a woman
she said she's sending me everything I
I never gave her before she said:
Fill it up and send it back, Fill it up and send it back,
so I sent her back an empty box.
A big mistake, sent back an empty box
half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight,
and half insane just a sound
I crossed into a valley so dark that when I look back I can't see where I began, I can't see my hands, I don't even know if my eyes are open.
In the morning I was by the sea and I swam out as far as I could swim until I was too tired to swim anymore
and then I floated and tried to get by strength back.
and then an empty box came floatin' by,
an empty box and I crawled inside half in the shadows,
half in the husky moonlight
and half insane just a sound in the night
happy in the shadows half in the husky moonlight
and half insane just a sound
