Well I've gotta change so I’m goin' away for a while
I'm leaving today and please don’t let time change your smile
Oh and I am ashamed because habits became my life
But no damn hurricane could rival the tears I have cried

And I'm always empty, don't you know me
By the time I get to you
Oh it's terrible and true

And our minds they toil on seeds that never bloom
And our plans are foiled and clouds forever loom
Oh in winter's haste she always comes too soon
And we pray upon another harvest moon

And I'm always empty, don't you know me
By the time I get to you
Oh it's terrible and true

And I hope when we’re old your love for me is still true
And the flames still burns through snow and rain and dew
’cause my heart is black as coal and beat to ruins
Oh it's forged in steel and signatured to you

And I’m always empty, don't you know me
By the time I get to you
Oh it's terrible and true
And I'm always empty, don’t you know me
By the time I get to you
Oh it's terrible and true
