Lyrics Empty Suitcases - The Nursery

Empty Suitcases

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
