it ain’t nothin but empty
empty fillin up my heart
it ain’ nothin but empty baby
nothin but empty fillin up my heart
leavin me nothin
no nothin
nothin no more
rain rain rain
rain a pourin down upon my soul
rain rain rain
rain pourin all down on my soul
done washed me over
leavin me with
nothin no more
got a chain got a chain
a chain wrapped around my life
got a chain got a chain
got a chain wrapped around my life
all tied up and strangled
don’t know how i will survive
that chain got a lock
a lock without a key
that chain got a lock
a lock without a key
leavin empty locked up
all inside of me
rain come down
fillin empty into my life
rain come down
fillin empty into my life
leavin nothin nothin
leavin nothin inside
it ain’t nothin but empty
empty fillin up everything
it ain’t nothin but empty
fillin up everything
leaving nothin no nothin
leavin nothin but nothin
leavin nothin no more
it ain’t nothin but empty
empty fillin up my heart
it ain’t nothin but empty baby
nothin but empty fillin up my heart
leavin me nothin
no nothin
nothin no more

would love to hear it put to music.It’s great.

thank you, glad you like it. think bb king meets robert johnson in the 21st century in chicago, and it’s kind of what it does.

Wow… I didn’t even know you wrote lyrics or poetry? Where have I been hiding? Jeez, I’m so autistic sometimes! Can you sing and play a musical instrument like the guitar?
mhkantor in reply to JenniferB’s comment, 3 months ago
i don’t sing much never did (only sing when i’m writing a song), and i play guitar every day. used to always have a piano (either old upright or electric) so i used to play keyboards every day too. but no more, haven’t had a keyboard in years. my dogs would never let me do flute or harp (blues harmonica) which was a shame, because that was 2 of the things i was noted for and loved to do along with keyboards and guitars. been doing this stuff and writing and artwork most of my life.

haha… I know, dogs are really sensitive to certain pitches in sound, shame about the harmonica though, i love to hear a harmonica played well… have you recorded any of your music?

Wow, this is fantastic Mh, very moving, lovely lyrics. i only play the harmonica, a little, by ear, but the Dogs don’t like it, so i don’t play much
mhkantor in reply to pinkyjain’s comment, 21 days ago
yeh, dogs seem sensitive to harp but man do they love guitar. when i play, which is everyday, they come over special to lay around and listen. all my dogs have in the past, and cats too. when i used to have keyboards the dogs liked that too, same with the cats. when i wrote this i wrote it while playing and sung it. i think it works pretty good both as a poem and as a song. i’m so glad that you enjoyed it, and thank you so much for faving it as well.

maybe I should just fill up with rain. But then artists need to be empty at times.
