Everything's empty in this lonesome old town If I could find the river I'd follow it down To someplace with some life still left Go out dancing in my Sunday best I need to forget Shake off this regret What I need's a grand piano to do things right Cool my fingers in its pools of black and white I need time, clear to eternity Half of it to set it straight and the other just to sleep I need to forget Sleep off this regret I never seem to catch things as they're coming my way I go chasing them down crying hey come back hey Hey what were you hey Hey hey hey
