Lyrics Empty Box - Morphine

Empty Box

I tore open the package
It was an empty box
No meaning to me just an empty box Sender was a woman — 2nd times
She said she’s sending me everything
I, I, I never gave her before
She said: Fill it up and send it back,
Fill it up and send it back,
So I sent her back an empty box.
A big mistake, sent back an empty box Half in the shadows, half in the husky
moonlight,
And half insane just a sound in the night
I enter a valley so dark that when I look back I can’t see where I began,
I can’t see my hands, I don’t even know if my eyes are open.
In the morning I was by the sea and I swam out as far as I could swim
till I was too tired to swim anymore and then I floated and tried
to get by strength back.
Then an empty box came floatin' by, an empty box and I crawled inside half in the shadows, half in the husky
moonlight and half insane just a sound in the night.
