Empty Sky Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

The Rising

2002

[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning, I could barely breathe
Just an empty impression in the bed where you used to be
I want a kiss from your lips, I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to an empty sky

[Chorus]
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky

[Chorus]
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky

[Verse 2]
Blood on the streets, yeah, blood flowing down
I hear the blood of my blood crying from the ground

[Chorus]
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky

[Chorus]
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky

[Verse 3]
On the plains of Jordan, I cut my bow from the wood
Of this tree of evil, of this tree of good
I want a kiss from your lips, I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to an empty sky

[Chorus]
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky

[Chorus]
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
