Empty Ships Songtext
von Moongarden

Girl, you seem to recognize this place
Can′t you see how much it's changed?
It seems an eternity ago
Might as well let it all just go
What is it that drives you here today?
Yet it was here it all fell into place
Might as well be a story that you read
It might be something better left unsaid

Empty ships of love sick fools
Hold their drift behind the moon
Empty vessels they make so much noise
They sail in circles sorting men from boys

Memories float like the chemical waste I see
Putrid water gives no guarantee
And this smelly canal I could call mud
Forced to breathe in the smog


It all gets hazy, it all goes south
It drags you under, dropping out of sight
Barnacles and seaweed, all those slimy things you see
Watch your hopes go under, you′ll be waiting still

Empty ships of love sick fools
Hold their drift behind the moon
Empty vessels they make so much noise
They sail in circles sorting men from boys

Memories float like the chemical waste I see
Putrid water gives no guarantee
And this smelly canal I could call mud
Forced to breathe in the smog

Hungry seas won't take me now
Circling sharks of monsters disagree
They smile from ear to ear
They won't take me now, I′ve drowned in love
Sink to the bottom of your empty sea
In dreams of me


It all gets hazy, it all goes south
It drags you down
Lazy currents carry the rotten wheel
Lost horizons waiting deep
Driftwood floating pastures
Love sick fools disappear in parts unknown to man
