Joan Armatrading - Empty Highway lyrics

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 feel like the sky' is violence Sometimes it feels like nobody hears Sometimes it fells like I'm on an empty highway And I'm on a road to nowhere I'm on a road to nowhere As I watch the street lights flicker Like the dying embers of your affection As I watch the street lights 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 tides 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 to all the lovers They just pa** me by 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 in just my underwear And I watch the gentle rain fall Yeah watch the gentle rain fall Yeah I watch the gentle rain fall down
