Empty Bottles
JOHN CALE
Empty, empty bottles
Lying side by side
Used up empty bottles
Remembering long lost wine
Keep our empty bottles
Making empty wine
Marking our intentions
Sadly out of time
And the summer make you lazy
A day at a time
And good company evades you
Passing you by
But I do love you against all odds
Though you don't know what I want
We're much poorer than that bottle
More foolish than that wine
Maybe we can make it
Though we failed before
You keep getting closer
Closer to me once more
And I'll try to entertain you
A day at a time
Try to make myself much clearer
From your wine
But I do love you against all odds
Though you don't know what I want
Seeing you and seeing me
We're much poorer than that bottle
More foolish than that wine
