Empty Hands

He didn't close the door on his way out He left it ajar and the cat got out But you never could stay mad I never could use him like you did With a leash so tight he barely fit in it And I never was one to tame a being Be it breathing down my neck or sleeping at the foot of my bed And yet I stole a good man from you I stole a good man from you I stole a good man from you I stole a good man from you I took the time to hate myself for it But time goes on and I'm not one to wallow in the depths And my penance comes at the end, it's trailing But I like the sound it makes as it takes its rest From empty hands That stole a good man from you I stole a good man from you I stole a good man from you Believe me when I say I didn't mean to But you'll find another one baby There's a ton of them running round lately You'll find another one baby There's a ton of them running round lately Or so they say Or so they say Or so they say Or so they say Or so they say Or so they say Or so they say Or so they say Or so they say Or so they say Or so they say Or so they say
