Empty Suitcases - The Nursery

A lonely whisper or a thousand screams

Won’t change the picture in the frame I see

I walk a path cut by the moon

The words you’re speaking don’t fit through your mouth

Gone are the treasures you couldn’t live without

A foolish hand a winners' blues

Without material things your suitcases must all be empty

Cast in to sink or swim you’ll float on until your ready

And now it’s bright out and i’m far away from home

Ain’t no star directing where to go

Everything is hard to touch but easy to feel

And now I found you washed up on the shore

Your shadow’s not the shape it was before

Everything is hard to touch but easy to feel

Without material things your suitcases must all be empty

Cast in to sink or swim you’ll float on until your ready

Heaven is a lonely place

Heaven’s not the only place

We’ve got the heart, just not the faith

With you
