Lyrics

[00:10.67] These are the words but not the truth
[00:14.42] God bless them all when they speak to you
[00:17.80]
[00:18.68] But that's alright
[00:19.92]
[00:21.24] On an empty stage
[00:23.37]
[00:24.49] Sing out when
[00:25.86]
[00:27.04] There's no other way
[00:29.24]
[00:36.61] Come drift the town where secrets lie
[00:40.61] Where friends and neighbours keep drifting by
[00:44.04]
[00:44.80] But that's alright
[00:45.98]
[00:47.30] You're here to stay
[00:49.18]
[00:50.55] Sing out tonight
[00:51.92]
[00:53.29] The empty page
[00:55.48]
[01:02.86] I always thought I'd see
[01:04.61]
[01:06.67] Your name in flashing light
[01:09.04]
[01:10.61] You did it all for free, girl
[01:12.98]
[01:14.42] And freely ripped the night
[01:16.30]
[01:18.99] You're free to fight
[01:20.41]
[01:24.61] These are the words but not the truth
[01:28.42] God bless them all when they speak to you
[01:31.86]
[01:32.74] But that's alright
[01:35.29] You're here to stay
[01:37.05]
[01:38.61] Sing out tonight
[01:39.92]
[01:41.36] The empty page
[01:43.36]
[01:50.92] Do you remember the time
[01:52.74]
[01:54.67] When you were new in town
[01:56.92]
[01:58.56] You smashed your head in the mirror, baby
[02:01.81]
[02:02.43] And kissed the frozen ground
[02:04.43]
[02:07.06] Yr ripped up sound
[02:08.25]
[03:34.64] The empty page has wasted down
[03:39.76]
[03:42.45] The empty page is ripped
[03:45.26]
[03:50.20] The empty page will waste this town
[03:55.01]
[03:57.88] The empty page has slipped
