Empty Page from Lawn Songs by 14 Flamingos

Like shade in the summer,
and a fire in the winter
Time feels like forever
As those clocks keep getting faster
And you don’t ever know
What it is that you are after
Spend your life forever
Looking through the rear view mirror,
Trying to find a book that's written or so you hear


There ain’t one for loving
There ain’t one for leaving
There is some for sinning
Even more for make believing
There ain’t one for telling which way
That you should be going
Just some old empty page for you.


Birds are flying one way
Planes all go the other
I ain’t seen my old lady since the first moon in December
Now the days are getting shorter
The air is getting colder
What’s that sound I’m hearing?
That’s the sound of getting older
Still searching for that empty page alone


In the wise old words it’s written
Only two days you don’t chose
O’ the first breathe you are given
The last one you will surely use.

He is singing one song
Thinking about another
Still remembers that old juke box
And the night they danced together
She is sitting all alone
Looking out across harbour
Thinking about the one she loved
And if he’s found another
Still searching for that empty page alone.

There ain’t one for loving
There ain’t one for leaving
There is some for sinning
Even more for make believing
There ain’t one for telling which way
That you should be going
Just some old empty page for you.
