Vacant
by Eric Smith

 

A song about being reconciled after years of estrangement

 

Do you know where I’m going ?

Do you know where I’ve been?

Do you know what it’s like

To be left by all your friends?

 

Do you know where you’re going?

Because I know where you’ve been

Are you willing to speak to me

Willing to let me in?

 

I’ve known you

Since you were in your Mother’s womb

Do you want to know me?

Check your heart for a vacancy

 

Do you know who I am?

I try to get through when I can

Do you know who you are?

Could I tell you from afar?

 

Do you know what I’m like?

You’re not sure but you think you might

Did I abandon you?

Or have you just suppressed the truth?

 

One day to my surprise

I saw a light that hurt my eyes

It was neon red for all to see

The sign said there’s a vacancy

 

I’ve known you

Since you were in your Mother’s womb

Now you know me - There was a vacancy 

Together we will be - In eternity

Because in eternity – There is always a vacancy
