The Empty Crowded Room Songtext
von Flaming Ember

Hear the beating of the clock
How it seems to never stop
Counting every moment you′re away
There's your picture on the wall
And it almost seems to call
Calling out my name as if to say
"Oh, now don′t you miss me?
Don't you feel unhappy since I've been gone?
Can you carry on?"

Oh, it′s just an empty crowded room
Full of everything but you
But I′d gladly take it there
If I could only have you there


I listen to the radio
But it doesn't help me though
Reminds me of your humming melodies
I can see your favorite chair
Where you used to comb your hair
Where you′d sit and laugh and joke with me
Now there's no more laughter
′Cause only hurt comes after a love affair
When you still care

Oh, it's just an empty crowded room
Full of everything but you
But I′d gladly take it there
If I could only have you there

I remember all the good times
And I can't believe they're gone
Sometimes I even catch myself
Humming our favorite song
Singing la la la la, la la la la, la la la
Humming, mm hm hm, hm hm, oh

There′s no ringing telephone
Where we used to talk so long
Telling each other how we spent our days
I can see the front room door
You won′t come through anymore
Greeting me in your sweet and loving ways


Empty crowded room
Full of everything but you
But I'd gladly take it there
If I could only have you there

Oh, it′s empty, empty, empty here without you
It's an empty crowded room full of everything but you
Singing la la la la, la la la la, la la la
Humming, mm hm hm, hm hm, oh
It′s empty, empty, empty here without you
It's an empty crowded room full of everything but you
Singing la la la la, la la la la, la la la
