Original

lyrics

She wanted to be different than she was
Dancing and laughing in the woods before
Waiting, watching out of the window
Wild with loneliness in a foreign house

I am an empty vessel out of the water
And I can’t be filling it any longer

Collecting things, collecting dust
Her dancing shoes buried under attic rust
No voice for souls of her feet
Where is your home?
Where is your home?

I am an empty vessel out of the water
And I can’t be filling it any longer

Why are you so angry at me
Oh darling I’m not but can’t you see

I am an empty vessel out of the water
And I can’t be filling it any longer
I am
I am

When you were a child you had your friend
Four legs and a tail kept you company
Now there is no one to call your own
And you are lost to the sea, to the sea

I am an empty vessel out of the water
And I can’t be filling it any longer
I am
I am
I am an empty vessel
I am out of the water, out of the water
I am an empty vessel
And I can’t be filling it any longer
