Empty Night

Empty night,
I’m all alone tonight.
That man gave me a promise,
An empty promise.
He was lonely,
I was lonely,
So he said, “Let us be lonely together.”
Be mine for this night,
Tonight.
He was lonely,
I was lonely,
So he said, “Let us be lonely together.”
Empty promise,
Empty bottles,
Empty night, tonight.
He gave me a promise, 
For us to be lonely together.
An empty night, 
Filled with a lonely man and woman.
That man gave me a promise,
An empty promise.
He said, “Let us be lonely together.”
Empty promise,
Empty bottles,
Empty night, together.
By daybreak
He is gone,
I am gone,
Feeling empty.
