'Empty City' by John Haydock.

Written, performed and produced by John Haydock.
Back to the blues.....for those that like John Illsley, Chris Rea.
LYRICS:
This is an empty city
See it in the windows when the sun goes down
This is an empty city
You see it in the windows when the sun goes down
And ain't you getting tired
Of the same old runaround
Cars on the highway
They ain't nothing but a blur
Cars on the highway
Ain't nothing but a blur
And all you can do, all you can do
Is think of her
It's all you can do
Tired old streetlights
Throw out pools of yellow light
Tired old streetlights
Throw out pools of yellow light
Don't you feel like a fool
When you go looking
For the heart of the night
Where are you baby?
I've been looking high and low
Where are you baby?
I've been looking high and low
I've been going to the places
Only dead men know
It's an empty city......

👏 I’m 70ish and have always loved all genres of music (although a classical 🎹 ist since I was 5). Just discovered John a week +/- ago, and think he’s a great 👍 laid back blues 🎤 + 🎸ist! This is another one that really hits home for me. In a sense ‘blues’ like this are relaxing and sensual, esp with the video background! I 💕 it for ALL these reasons, as well as his others I’ve heard/watched! Good luck 🍀 to John - 💟☮️✝️ + a prosperous future, thanks for sharing your talent 🙏 and looking forward to MORE!
